Steps

Little baby boy, sittin round his toys
Gettin tired of crawlin
Hes pullin up on an easy chair
Hes gonna try a little walkin
Hes takin steps
A six year old with a new school bag
Starin down his drive
Holdin on to his mamas hand
Hes going on his first bus ride
Hes 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 its okay
To be afraid
You gotta have faith
Lifes all about
Steps
For 22 years she stood by a man
Who did her wrong
With a packed suitcase
And a greyhound ticket, shes finally gone
Shes 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
Hes takin steps
Somewhere a great grandpa says
'im ready to go'
Peacefully drifts off to sleep
Wakes up on streets of gold
