The Next Step

Irish Song Lyrics - The Next StepAuthor: Donal O'Shaughnessy

This is the song I submitted to American Idol for their song writing competition:

You’ve made it this far
You know where you’ve been
Now take the next step
And find out where you’re going

The next step Is the hardest of them all
Reaching for the stars
You’ll find out who you are… What’s inside you?

And what’s your driving force
Life had tried you
To get you on this course your wildest dreams are tapped
They were all the plans you’ve made
Focused on horizons
And lost friends along the way….
But now it’s time to say…

Step up, step in, step out
To all you want to be
Now let your spirit shout
For all the world to see
Just look within your heart your destiny is calling
There’ll be no fear of falling
The next step is well within your reach

Bridge: One crazy minute can make a brand new day
So just prepare yourself when that minute comes your way
The years of sacrifice have brought this time to me
But now I’m ready for you to set me free

My wildest dreams are tapped
They were all the plans I made
I can see a bright horizon
And bring friends along the way….
SO now it’s time to say…
Step up, step in, step out
To all I want to be I’ll let my spirit shout
For all the world to see
I’ve look within my heart my destiny is calling
I have no fear of falling
The next step is here within my reach
