One step at a time
(Verse 1) Sunrise creeping over Nassau town This office chair has got me feeling down Staring at the stranger in the glass Wondering how the time went by so fast The reflection shows a man I barely know Lost the confidence I had long ago But today's the day I draw a line in the sand Take my future back into my own two hands Lace up my sneakers, head out the door I'm not going to live like this anymore Starting with a walk, the sun upon my face The 10K Clifton loop, I'm setting my own pace. (Chorus) It's one step at a time, one single stride To find the better man I know is deep inside One breath at a time, steady and slow Gonna give my self-respect a chance to grow This isn't a sprint, it's a mountain I will climb Building my future, one step at a time. (Verse 2) The first few days, my body screamed and ached Every single muscle fiber was awake But the ocean breeze pushed me right along Made me feel like this is where I belong That 10K felt like a marathon at first Fought against the doubt, that nagging thirst To just give up, go back to how things were But the walk became a jog, a satisfying blur Past the quiet beaches, under skies so blue Every single morning, something felt brand new. (Chorus) It's one step at a time, one single stride To find the better man I know is deep inside One breath at a time, steady and slow Gonna give my self-respect a chance to grow This isn't a sprint, it's a mountain I will climb Building my future, one step at a time. (Bridge) Now the morning walk is just a warm-up phase I'm adding in the weights, lost in a focused haze The clank of iron is a sweet and welcome sound Pushing my own limits, solid on the ground I'll get the bike out, feel the wind rush past Creating better habits that are built to last The man in the mirror, he's starting to change It's time to turn the page, rearrange. (Chorus) It's one step at a time, one single stride To find the better man I know is deep inside One breath at a time, steady and slow Gonna give my self-respect a chance to grow This isn't a sprint, it's a mountain I will climb Building my confidence, one step at a time. (Outro) Yeah, one step at a time Gonna make myself proud One step at a time My own voice, clear and loud The journey's just beginning But I can see the light One step at a time I'm gonna win this fight. One step at a time.
