My ambition left me long ago! I'm tired of finding one more reason not to care It's self-inflicted and it's wrong I know! I've gotta find a place to heal my soul out there! A flickering inside An ember that won't die! Is there courage I can find? I promise not to quit! As hard as it may get! I've been trying to avoid it I don't want to admit! It's time that I accept That I'm in over my head! It's time to make the choice My journey starts with just one step!!! Am I the person that I wish I was? Every second made an hour over time The years are passing by me just because There's a fuel in me I'm waiting to ignite! I promise not to quit! As hard as it may get! I've been trying to avoid it I don't want to admit! It's time that I accept That I'm in over my head! It's time to make the choice The journey starts with just one step!!! I don't know where my days went! Just growing too complacent! My ambition left me long ago But I'm letting go of all my reasons not to care! I promise not to quit As hard as it may get! I've been trying to avoid it I don't want to admit! It's time that I accept That I'm in over my head! It's time to make the choice! My journey starts WITH JUST ONE STEP!!!!! You and Jonathan young have created a masterpiece. Writing this out made me see how carefully you picked these lyrics. I actually got chills when I was writing down the second version of the first verse and you changed the last line to "But I'm letting go of all my reasons not to care!" to show progression! As stated, A masterpiece!!!!!
So……….when are you going to make another cover together? Cami and Caleb is group I can’t ever see the songs they cover the same, maybe one day we’ll be blessed with anotherz
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT CORD AT THE END?!?! Also Caleb's verse holding back the instrumentals for the chorus added so much! It's been a while since I was that moved by metal!
I love how this has Disney song vibes, while also having a sorta late 90's-early 2000's rock/metal sound, too (mostly reminded of Nickelback and Disturbed/Creed-era music, if that helps you get where I'm coming from). Very nice, you two!
This song...hits real close to home man, it's been rough these last few years and I've been so close sometimes to just wanting to give up on things. Trying to just...make it out there in the world is rough.
Excuse me, but I'll have to listen to this on repeat because this absolutely SLAYS! Love everything about it, the clip itself (seeing Jonathan playing the instruments is always cool and your expressions are amazing as always), the instrumentals, and the lyrics that hit deep inside.
Man, as corny as it is and weird as it feels to say about a song that rocks so hard but these lyrics almost immediately made me tear up, they just cut STRAIGHT at everything that's been weighing on my bones and soul. An amazing song from an amazing pair, and congratulations on making it! I can guarantee I'll be listening to it again and again and again!
Man, since February this year, I’ve felt like I’m in limbo. Wanting to do so much and imagining all of the cool things I could do, but never taking the time to go for it. Weather it was animation or arts, or just trying to live again, I felt different. Now I think I’m going to try. Try to take the one step. Thank you for this. ☺️
The journey from you first writing this to the final product, good lord its amazing. The vocals are on point, as soon as it drops on Spotify then it's going on repeat on every drive I do!
Great vocals, great guitar, AMAZING LYRICS!! AND THE MESSAGE IS PHENOMENAL!! In a time where there is a lot of depression and other mental health problems (which I have succumbed to, not seriously though thank goodness) this song is just beautiful and was performed amazingly! Thanks for this Caleb and Jonathan!!!
I really like this, the vibe just hits really well with me. The vocals on this especially has me speechless, I can't put it into words how great this really is lol.
I lost my job late last year and used that a kick in the ass to take control of my life, so this song has been something of anthem for me. Thanks Caleb, rock on man.
I have listened to my fair share of metal/alternative rock but one here...this song has to be by far- one of the best I've heard in a LONG time. Thank you Calab and Johnathon for this amazing song. Calab it is amazing to see how far you have come.
This song just hits me in the heart and in a good way that I needed a reminder! You guys did an awesome job and always love hearing you both come together! Keep rocking and JUST ONE STEP AT A TIME BROTHAS!!!!
Hey caleb don't know if you will see this comment but just wanted to say that this song dropped at the perfect time. I was in the darkest point in my life and this song help pull me through and get to the other side. I have it in my daily Playlist and play it when ever I need a little pit of light in my day. Thank you so much and God bless you
This sounds amazing. I'm a sucker for a great instrumental, and that's what this has got. And I like the thought process as far as the message of the song is concerned.
Such a spectacular song, everything about it is great, and it has a pretty good message in it too, can't wait to see what other original work you guys have in store 👍🏾
This song has such a beautiful place in my heart, Caleb. Thank you so much for including all of us for the first steps of this songs’ journey with the creation process on the Twitch streams. Sitting in on those streams, I never imagined only months later I would get to hear it live in Dallas! And now to hear it in its completely polished finished studio version, honestly brings tears to my eyes. What a super fire freaking banger! I love it! 🔥
This song seems like there journey from the start of there careers to this point in time the doubts you have and overcoming the hardships to get where u want to be in life
This song, to nobodies surprise, is incredible. That is practically a given when either of you put your minds to writing a song you enjoy. What I was not expecting was to break out into a fucking hysterical laughing fit at the end when I re-watched it for the third time and realized the drummer was not, in fact, another collaborator; but was instead just Jonathan in another outfit. I don't know why but that just broke me XD Absolutely stunning song, love yall
I will be honest I cant stop listening to this song and makes me want to break the lack of confidence to create videos of my own. Thank you, for the content over the years and popping out real bangers, along with Jonathan young.
Your voices and skills feel like made for such powerful metal parts, glad to hear more and in such a great original song with spot on instrumentals to back it up! When the first chorus hits it's all pure perfection for my ears - to the last second. Really, to me you are the two absolute best metal singers alive!
This recently appeared on an AD Wasn't paying attention, but then I realized it was Caleb Hyles After, like, 3 years of not listening to him, he caught me off-guard And I gotta say, he's still an amazing singer! Hope you and Jonathan had fun with this. You'll reach your dreams STEP by STEP!
Chills my dear, absolute chills. Felt this on a soul level. Immediate goosebumps and full immersion to the music on an amazing vibe. ROCK ON CALEB 🤘 awaiting more 😎
My ambition left me long ago Tired of finding one more reason not to care It's self-inflicted and it's wrong, I know I've gotta find a place to heal my soul out there A flickering inside, an ember that won't die Is there courage I can find?

Thank you so much for giving us this gem. This song speaks to me so strongly that it is beautiful and painful at the same time. This is definitely an anthem for everyone struggling everyday to do their best being the person they are, not the person they were seemingly meant to be.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If the only problem with a song is that it was too short, then you've made a damn good song! This was nothing short of perfect to me. Amazing job by both of these guys.
Caleb, I want to be honest to both you and jonathan. In the years that I have been listening to your guys content, I've truly never have ever experienced good cover artists that have done a fantastic job like the two of you did and have done, and every time I listen to your guys's music it's always uplifting and helps me get through a bad patch whenever that comes in any point of the day. And in all honesty, listening to your original song is quite moving because I wish I could be like you guys one day. I truly wish that I can use my voice to help uplift people just like you guys do. I just want to say that I love the music that you guys make and I just want to say thank you and I truly appreciate both of you. So thank you so much for the awesome music and content that you make and that Jonathan makes. You too truly are amazing and I hope you guys make it to the top.
I swear when these two get together near perfection always comes out!!! 9.5/10 (max score) I took .5 away because I can’t sing along due to me not having as perfect a voice as Caleb.

My ambition left me long ago!
I'm tired of finding one more reason not to care
It's self-inflicted and it's wrong I know!
I've gotta find a place to heal my soul out there!
A flickering inside
An ember that won't die!
Is there courage I can find?
I promise not to quit!
As hard as it may get!
I've been trying to avoid it
I don't want to admit!
It's time that I accept
That I'm in over my head!
It's time to make the choice
My journey starts with just one step!!!
Am I the person that I wish I was?

*Another
Hi, Cami-Cat.
Watching these 2 grow over the last like 6 Years is amazing
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT CORD AT THE END?!?! Also Caleb's verse holding back the instrumentals for the chorus added so much! It's been a while since I was that moved by metal!
Oh yeah, now THIS is a banger
yooooo cuyaya make an uwu cover of it
I love how this has Disney song vibes, while also having a sorta late 90's-early 2000's rock/metal sound, too (mostly reminded of Nickelback and Disturbed/Creed-era music, if that helps you get where I'm coming from). Very nice, you two!
Agreed
Absolutely the same vibes I got! so loving this song!
I feeling skillet too
This is too much Nickleback
@@chriskraft2951 Yes! I was going to say Skillet!
Goddamn, I think these are the rawest and most powerful vocals I've ever heard from Caleb.
Thank you very much ♥
Both of you, continue, thrive, and NEVER quit. You made the promise now, so I wanna hear another 20 years worth of kickass music!
This song...hits real close to home man, it's been rough these last few years and I've been so close sometimes to just wanting to give up on things. Trying to just...make it out there in the world is rough.
You still here
Excuse me, but I'll have to listen to this on repeat because this absolutely SLAYS! Love everything about it, the clip itself (seeing Jonathan playing the instruments is always cool and your expressions are amazing as always), the instrumentals, and the lyrics that hit deep inside.
Haven’t listened in awhile- but I heard you were doing original music and I had to listen.
Amazing job, absolutely covered in chills.
TIME TO LISTEN ON REPEAT, ADDED TO GYM PLAYLIST LETS GO
Man, as corny as it is and weird as it feels to say about a song that rocks so hard but these lyrics almost immediately made me tear up, they just cut STRAIGHT at everything that's been weighing on my bones and soul.

Such a different feel to In one breath but by god am I here for it. Phenomenal work. Now excuse me while I listen to this on repeat for a week.
This gives me huge Skillet vibes mixed with your own personal flare and I am here for it, you go king!! 👑
I got to the first 20 seconds, and I already felt how good this song is. This was a great early birthday present!
The journey from you first writing this to the final product, good lord its amazing. The vocals are on point, as soon as it drops on Spotify then it's going on repeat on every drive I do!
Make sure to pre-save!!

I agree.

🙏🙏🙏 much love brother
I love how Jonathan can sing and play all those instruments at the same time. 90% of the time I can't even sing and walk simultaneously.
As soon as I heard the opening riff, I recognized this song from the production streams. This is absolutely going on repeat for the rest of the day.

INCREDIBLE !!!! Hope you make original song more often !
My ambition left me long ago
Tired of finding one more reason not to care
It's self-inflicted and it's wrong, I know
I've gotta find a place to heal my soul out there
A flickering inside, an ember that won't die
Is there courage I can find?
I promise not to quit, as hard as it may get
I've been trying to avoid it, I don't want to admit
It's time that I accept that I'm in over my head
It's time to make the choice
My journey starts with just one step
Am I the person that I wish I was?
Every second, minute, hour, all the time?
The years are passing by me just because
There's a fuel in me I'm waiting to ignite
I promise not to quit, as hard as it may get
I've been trying to avoid it, I don't want to admit
It's time that I accept that I'm in over my head
It's time to make the choice
The journey starts with just one step
I don't know where my days went
Just growing so complacent
My ambition left me long ago
But I'm letting go of all my reasons not to care
I PROMISE NOT TO QUIT, AS HARD AS IT MAY GET
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO AVOID IT, I DON'T WANT TO ADMIT
IT'S TIME THAT I ACCEPT THAT I'M IN OVER MY HEAD
IT'S TIME TO MAKE THE CHOICE
MY JOURNEY STARTS WITH JUST ONE STEP
Thank you so much for giving us this gem. This song speaks to me so strongly that it is beautiful and painful at the same time. This is definitely an anthem for everyone struggling everyday to do their best being the person they are, not the person they were seemingly meant to be.
ah yes. an amazing new original song from my favorite duo, the drama kid teddy bear come to life and meme music jesus.
Woooow! That was absolutely amazing! I rewatched it 3 times already! Such feeling and passion. Can't wait to hear more~ amazing work!
I can't even begin to explain on how much of a personal level this resonates with me.
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!
Jonathan, 2.35 - 2.38. Love how you show the top of your range . Great control. Thanks for putting this out there with the SIL.!
It's not even a minute in and it's already fucking amazing
waaaaa absolutely beautiful, in LOVE with the opening, goodness~
Wow just wow! Love it!!
This is gorgeous! There will definitely be days this one goes on repeat.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If the only problem with a song is that it was too short, then you've made a damn good song! This was nothing short of perfect to me. Amazing job by both of these guys.
I love how this song is both original and still gives me "old song" vibes that make me nostalgic to when I was a young kid
Incredible lyrics, you guys are the best duo EVER!!!
Caleb, I want to be honest to both you and jonathan. In the years that I have been listening to your guys content, I've truly never have ever experienced good cover artists that have done a fantastic job like the two of you did and have done, and every time I listen to your guys's music it's always uplifting and helps me get through a bad patch whenever that comes in any point of the day.

Awesome! Can’t wait to download it on my Spotify playlist! 🤟🏻
I have loved every single original song you have released i look forward to future ones
I swear when these two get together near perfection always comes out!!!
9.5/10 (max score) I took .5 away because I can’t sing along due to me not having as perfect a voice as Caleb.
This is like if a Disney protagonist got a rock ballad rather than an orchestral music number, and I am here for it.
Yep, your journey started with one step, now look how far you've come.
Good job legend.
Amazing song, only had to hear 5 seconds to notice it was a masterpiece.
