One Step Away
Lyrics
Ready?
People think that dance music is superficial
But they've got it all wrong
The dance floor is not just a place, it's a threshold
A ritualistic space where movement replaces language
So can you feel this? Mmm
'Cause I can feel this, mmm
One step away from your freedom
One breath away from the dance of life
One step away from your heartbeat
One step away, yeah, you're one step away
Understand your violence and the trauma you've survivеd
Nobody's free until they're broken
Undеrstand your silence and the drama deep inside
Nobody's free, it's just a token
One step away from your freedom
One breath away from the dance of life
One step away from your heartbeat
One step away from the breath of life
One step away
Yeah, you're one step away, yeah (So can you feel this? Mm)
('Cause I can feel this, mm)
One step away
One step away from your freedom
One breath away from the dance of life
One step away from your heartbeat
One step away, yeah, you're one step away
Even in the shadows where there's nowhere left to hide
Nighttime comes before the dawn
Come and get salvation, all God's children can be saved
We're all waiting for our freedom
Ah, ah
Oh (Oh, my God, my God, my God)
Hey (So can you feel this? Mmm)
Ah ('Cause I can feel this, mmm)
Ah (So can you feel this? Mmm)
Oh ('Cause I can feel this, mmm)
One step away
One step away, it's just one step away
You're one step away from the dance of life

One Step Away was one of the tracks that premiered in "Confessions II - The Film". In this chapter we see Madonna both in a nightly car chase, and dancing on top of a table in a loft. The scene contains many references, from the car chase in the What It Feels Like For A Girl video to choreographies in Die Another Day and the Re-Invention Tour.
