Once every day was a battle, yeah
I did not know what I was fighting for
Like swimming upstream against a raging river
And I was right back where I'd been before
Last night Jesus came to be in my dreams
He says, why won't you let me take it from here
Now I'm trending towards heaven, one day at a time
Like a ship on the ocean or a cloud up in the sky
Gave my soul to Jesus, laid my heart on the line
Now I'm drifting towards heaven, one day at a time
Since I quit all my struggling and driving
I turn to others around me to follow me
Cause just like a lighthouse, no one's lost at sea, yeah
Open your eyes through the fog
Now I'm drifting towards heaven, one day at a time
Like a bird in the wind or a car up along the highway
Gave my soul to Jesus, laid my heart on the line
Now we're drifting towards heaven, one day at a time
Oh, together we're drifting towards heaven, one day at a time
