[singer A]
[Verse 1]
Spring is dressing up the town
But Joanne still feels the same
Every window full of blossom
Still her heart won’t change
Friends keep saying, “Meet somebody”
Slide her names across the room
She just smiles and checks her phone
Then the hope goes out too soon

[Pre-Chorus]
She tried the clubs, she tried the crowd
She tried the workday game
Every “maybe” turned to “later”
Every face forgot her name
Then she laughed and shook her head
Said, “Maybe I’m too late”
But the world was at the front door
With a box and a birthday cake

[Chorus]
Take one step
Take one step
One step at a time
Joanne, don’t stop
Keep your heart in line
Take one step
Take one step
Meet me where you are
You already moved
Now I’ll meet you halfway, ah

[transition]

[singer B]
[Verse 2]
It was meant to be a small one
She was down, but still she went
Held that cake with both her hands
Like a little accident
At the door, a boy looked up
And her knees forgot the floor
Then his grandma in the hallway said,
“Now why don’t you stay for more?”

[Pre-Chorus]
He laughed, she laughed, the whole room changed
Like a window blown wide open
One glance and the air went golden
All that waiting started mending
And the birthday girl just knew
With a grin and kind eyes
If they both took one small step
The rest would fall in line

[melodic transition]

[singer A]
[Bridge]
Maybe love don’t kick the door in
Maybe it just rings once
Maybe fate wears work shoes
And arrives with buttercream dust
So if the moment’s calling
Don’t let it drift away
Two steps toward each other
Could change an ordinary day

[Final Chorus]
Take one step
Take one step
One step at a time
Joanne, don’t stop
Keep your heart in line
Take one step
Take one step
Meet me where you are
You already moved
Now I’ll meet you halfway, ah
Take one step
Take one step
Nothing’s by chance, my dear
One step at a time
And the right one’s finally here

[Intro: breathy falsetto, Rhodes chords] (Mmm...) (why? ...Why do so many people.., when they reach their dreams.., when they are one step away from them..., start telling themselves that they are not worthy of them..., that they are not good enough for them...? They turn around and walk away... Why? Recall your childhood... Who told you that you are not worthy...., that you are worse than others?... ..)
