Step by Step
Frozen Ghost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hand in hand like guns and bibles
War for peace it seems a contradiction
What is right and wrong?
What is fact and fiction?

Sisters and brothers
Isn't that the story?
To love one another
I've heard that how it goes
To live and let live
Isn't that what you say?
A little love goes a long long way

Step by step we can get there
Step by step we can get to other side
Step by step we can get there
Step by step we can get there

Hand in hand like guns and bibles
Love and hate seem to have conditions
What is truth and lies?
What's a sin without contrition?

Who throws the first stone
If everyone's a sinner?
We reap what we sow
Who should judge?
To live and let live
Isn't that what you say?
A little love goes a long long way

Step by step we can get there
Oh, Step by step we can get to other side
Step by step we can get there
Oh, Step by step
step by step

Everybody's got a way to justify
What is truth and what's a lie
Everybody's a got a way to save the world
But nothing ever changes
Though nothing stays the same
It's so easy to point the finger
Nobody ever wants to take the blame

So who throws the first stone
If everyone's a sinner?
If we reap what we sow
Then who should judge?
To live and let live
Isn't that what you say?
A little love goes a long long long way

Step by step we can get there
Oh, Step by step
Step by step we can get there
Oh, it's not so far, it's not so far
Step by step we can get there
Step by step, side by side, we can get to the other side




Step by step we can get there
Oh, step by step, step by step

Overall Meaning

The opening verse of Frozen Ghost's "Step by Step" speaks about the contradiction that war seems to bring about peace. The symbolism of hand in hand "like guns and bibles" perfectly encapsulates the idea of contradiction. The singer then questions the difference between right and wrong and fact and fiction. The following verse is a reference to the biblical story of brothers and sisters – Cain and Abel. It talks about loving one another and living together in peace. It's a message of unity, love, and acceptance, and of course, the act of forgiving that supports everyone. It suggests treating people with kindness and respect, no matter what their background is.


The chorus talks about the importance of taking small steps towards the goal, whether it's in life, a relationship, or society. The phrase "step by step" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and taking things one day at a time. The singer recognizes the complexity of society's problems and the difficulty of finding solutions, but encourages listeners that by taking things slowly and working together, success is possible.


The final verse deals with the idea of judgment. The singer questions who is entitled to throw stones or make judgments when everyone is a sinner. By working together and treating others with kindness, we can slowly create a better society step by step. The song builds a message of unity, love, acceptance, and forgiveness by encouraging listeners to take baby steps towards a better world.
