[Intro] George—G.O.E. One step, then another. [Verse 1] G.O.E. keeps a list in his coat, Three small plans on a folded note. Rent due Friday, shoes wearing thin, Still says, “There’s a better life waiting within.” At the bus-stop dawn, he shares his bread, Calls his mother, checks what she said. No golden road, no easy key, Just work, good friends, and a reason to believe. [Chorus] G.O.E., keep your head up, go, Build that good life slow by slow. When the long road bends and the hard days stay, Take one more step—you’re on your way. George, hold tight to the things that are true, Make a little more room for the dream in you. [Verse 2] He learns each name at the corner store, Puts his time in, then puts in more. Late-night lessons, early shift, A borrowed book and a stubborn gift. When his friend falls back, he won’t walk past, They split one meal and they make it last. G.O.E. knows what success should mean: A safe front door and his people seen. [Chorus] G.O.E., keep your head up, go, Build that good life slow by slow. When the long road bends and the hard days stay, Take one more step—you’re on your way. George, hold tight to the things that are true, Make a little more room for the dream in you. [Bridge] Not just a name on a bright new sign, Not just a win when the stars align. It’s who you lift when you finally rise, It’s keeping your word when nobody’s by. [Final Chorus] G.O.E., keep your head up, go, Build that good life slow by slow. Now the door swings wide; there’s a place to stay, And he brings his people through that way. George, hold tight to the things that are true, Good life growing in the work you do. [Outro] G.O.E.—one step, then another. George keeps going.
