I Stepped Out
©2004 Corey Parkman/Brock Goodwin

June afternoon back in eighty-eight
I stood on a bluff down on Pickwick Lake
Friends laughin' at me, I was scared to take the leap
20 feet's a mile to a little boy
I gritted my teeth, tryin' to make the choice
All of the sudden, a feelin' came over me.

And I stepped out
Past the edge of my control
And I let go
Felt the moment in my soul
No turnin' back
Learnin’ what life's all about
It felt so good
'Cause I lost all my doubt when I stepped out

Few years later in my wayward teens
Came in late one Saturday, drunk and mean
Daddy said "Sober up son, we're goin' to church"
Next morning's sermon from the Book of Mark
Spoke to my soul and it pulled at my heart
And by the invitation, I'd never been so sure.

And I stepped out
Past the edge of my control
And I let go
Felt the moment in my soul
No turnin' back
Faith is what life's all about
It felt so good
'Cause I lost all my doubt when I stepped out

Bridge
Six years later, as I waited in the wings
I thought about the single life and other things
But then I pictured you walking down the aisle
The doors swung open, my groomsmen smiled.

And I stepped out
Let my heart take control
And I let go
Felt the moment in my soul
No turnin' back
Faith and love's what life's about
It felt so good
I never had a doubt when I stepped out
