Step by Step

album: Keepin' Time by the River (1998), track 12 of 12
author: Chuck Pyle
publisher: Bee 'n' Flower Music BMI

There's an old ancient saying in the wind
One must only take a first step to begin
You're on your way then
You've done the hardest part
Now make your journey
With a generous heart
 CHORUS
   Step By Step, side by side
   Hand in hand, this old world's a better ride
   Step by step, side by side
   Take a little step, with your neighbor
   Side by side
We've stumbled we've broken our stride
Wearing old worn-out boots of foolish pride
Now we're going to put on our brand new running shoes
To run a race in which no one'll really lose
 CHORUS
     If you see me fallen down
     And you stop to lend a hand
     What goes around comes around
     And around and around
Now if you're running to another for help
It don't mean that you can't do it for yourself
It just means that your neighbor he's going to know
If he needs help he knows where to go
 CHORUS
Now if we understand that the heart's the one true power
And that nothing that we see is really ours
That from a satellite we all look like one
Then I think our world's time may finally have come
 CHORUS
   Step By Step, side by side
   Hand in hand, this old world's a better ride
   Step by step, side by side
   Take a little step with your neighbor
   Take a little step with your neighbor
   Take a little step with your neighbor
   Side by side
