Steps

Little baby boy, sittin round his toys

Gettin tired of crawlin

He's pullin up on an easy chair

He's gonna try a little walkin

He's takin steps

A six year old with a new school bag

Starin down his drive

Holdin on to his mama's hand

He's going on his first bus ride

He's takin steps

A teenage boy in a rented tux

Reaching out a trembling hand

To a pretty young girl in a satin dress

Asking her to dance

(chorus)

Steps, some big, some small

Puttin one foot after the other

Steps, the trick to it all

Is diggin down to find a little courage

And it's okay

To be afraid

You gotta have faith

Life's all about

Steps

For 22 years she stood by a man

Who did her wrong

With a packed suitcase

And a greyhound ticket, she's finally gone

She's takin steps

At a meeting downtown, a tired old drunk

Stands and says his name

That leaves him eleven to go and he can

Already feel the change

He's takin steps

Somewhere a great grandpa says

"i'm ready to go"

Peacefully drifts off to sleep

Wakes up on streets of gold
