Emilie Autumn - One Foot In Front Of The Other

☞ "One Foot In Front Of The Other" from the album Fight Like A Girl.
This song, as well as much of the Fight Like A Girl album, is a part of the musical The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls, so I have assigned the captioned lyrics to their various characters (I thought it might be fun for anyone singing along to know which character they were playing).
☞ For complete lyrics, turn on "Captions" for the video or see them below.

ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER
EMILY:
How did I get myself into all of this mess?
How did I end up with this deadly home address?
How did it come to this where every song I sing
Is nothing but a list of pain and suffering?
EMILY, INMATES:
We never will forget and, no, we will not forgive
We’ve fought hard not to die yet we don’t know how to live
How do we change our world to what we want it to be?
How do we move beyond all of this misery?
One foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one
EMILY:
I’ve been in chains since I was nothing but a kid
We don’t know freedom, not quite sure that we ever did
Now that we have it how will we make use of it?
We’ve been committed, now to what do we all commit?
EMILY, INMATES:
I used to have a home, now I don’t even have a name
I’m nothing but a number, here we are all the same
We’ve lost so much, so many of those we love are dead
How do I get these memories out of my fucking head?
One foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one
EMILY:
How do we bear this burden, far too much to carry?
How do we change our prison to a sanctuary?
We’ve been kept from the light, no one ever gave a damn
EMILY, INMATES:
If I’ve no one to fight, how do I know who I am?
One foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one foot in front of
In front of the one foot in front of
In front of the one foot in front of
In front of the one foot in front of
In front of the one foot in front of
In front of the one
EMILY:
We waged a war with Hell, and look, we still survive
But just because we live does not mean that we’re alive
We’ve won the final round, yet how to enjoy the win
When we’ve been broken down
EMILY, INMATES:
And we’ll never know what could have been?
Heaven help us how do we begin?
One foot in front of the other foot
In front of the one foot in front of
In front of the one foot in front of
In front of the one foot in front of
In front of the one foot in front of
In front of the one foot in front of
In front of the one foot in front of
In front of the one foot in front of
In front of the one foot in front of
In front of the one foot in front of
In front of the one foot in front of
In front of the one foot in front of
In front of the one! One! One!
