[Intro — 80s synth] Step by step One more step Step by step Still going [Verse 1] Didn't start With the whole picture Just started With the first step Didn't know Where it was going Just knew It was going somewhere The road looked long From the beginning Still looks long From the middle But the beginning Is behind me now And the middle Is under my feet Step by step That's all it is Step by step That's all it takes [Pre-Chorus — Synth build] Not the destination Not the arrival Just the next step Just the next one [Chorus — 80s pop explosion] Step by step I'm getting there Step by step Almost there Every step forward Every step counts Step by step The distance shrinks One step at a time One step at a time [Verse 2] There were days The steps got heavy Felt like moving Through something thick There were days The steps got small Barely moving But still moving Small steps count Heavy steps count Every step In the same direction The direction matters More than the speed Still going forward Still going Step by step Through the heavy days Step by step Through the small days [Pre-Chorus] Not perfection Not the fastest Just consistent Just forward [Chorus] Step by step I'm getting there Step by step Almost there Every step forward Every step counts Step by step The distance shrinks One step at a time One step at a time [Bridge — 80s guitar solo build] Someone told me once That the longest journey Starts with one step I believed them What they didn't say Is that the second step Is just as important As the first And the hundredth And the thousandth Every step Equally important Because without the middle steps The first step Goes nowhere Goes nowhere And without the last step All the middle steps Were just practice Just preparation So every step Is the step Every step Is the whole journey [Spoken — Over 80s synth pad] You know what I noticed About step by step You don't see the progress While you're stepping You only see it When you look back And the beginning Is far away That's the trick Keep stepping Don't look forward too much Just look at your feet Just this step Just this one Then the next step Is this one too [Final Chorus — Maximum 80s energy] Step by step I got here Step by step Still getting there Every step mattered Every single one Step by step The journey was The destination The destination All along All along [Outro — 80s synth fade] Step by step Still going Step by step Still here One step Then another Step by step Forward Always forward Step By step Still Going Still
