Well you're counting the hours every day now
And everyone's biting your tail
But it's one step at a time
But you don't know how long it's gonna last
You're taking your freedom for granted
But you're wearing your head like a slave
Well it's one step at a time
But you don't know how long it's gonna last
You stop to rest your weary head
And you can't get back on your feet again
You had your chance, but you let it go
And you're falling out again
One step at a time
But you don't know how long it's gonna last
You stop to rest your weary head
And you can't get back on your feet again
You had a chance, but you let it go
And you're falling out again
Somehow you lost all your courage
And the words, they're bringin' you down
It's a long road down that line
But we'll get there, one step at a time
One step at a time
