STEP BY STEP
Parsons Alan Lyrics

I was just a joker in a serious game
I felt like I didn't belong, like I didn't have the skills necessary to keep up with everyone else.

I Didn't have the Heart to play
I lacked the courage and motivation to try and be a part of things.

But sooner or later I'll find a reason to throw it away
I knew that I couldn't keep living like this forever, that I would have to either make a change or give up entirely.

Risin' on the crest of a natural wave
Despite my struggles, there were times when I felt like I was riding high, like things might suddenly fall into place for me.

That Never seems to break my way
Unfortunately, those moments were few and far between, and more often than not the tide turned against me.

I'm livin' without it
Even though I knew I needed to make a change, it was hard to find the motivation to do so.

But I got to Do something about it
I realized that I couldn't just sit around waiting for my luck to change, that I needed to take action if I wanted things to improve.

Step by step little by little
I knew that making real progress would be a slow and difficult process, but that every small move forward was still a step in the right direction.

Step by step take it line by line
Breaking down my goals into smaller, more manageable tasks would help make them seem more achievable and less overwhelming.

Move move move, move a Little closer
If I kept pushing myself, even just a little bit at a time, I could move closer and closer to the life I wanted to have.

I was Just a runner in a one horse race
It often felt like I was competing against myself, that I was the only one standing in the way of my own success.

Livin' on the don't pass line
I was stuck in a mindset of trying to avoid losing rather than actively trying to win.

Sooner or later I Got to lose cause I'm wasting my time
I knew that if I didn't take the reins and start making meaningful progress towards my goals, I was inevitably going to fail.

Lady luck must have been a wonderful girl
It felt like other people around me had everything going their way while I struggled to catch a break, like they were lucky in ways I wasn't.

She's never been a Friend of mine
Yet, despite how others seemed to sail through life, luck never seemed to be on my side.

But I still got that mountain to climb
I knew that even though I had a long road ahead of me, giving up wasn't an option if I wanted to make any progress at all.

Step by step rake it line by line
However hard it might be, I needed to break down my goals into manageable chunks and work on them piece by piece.

Step by step the Deal is mine
If I kept at it, and didn't give up or lose faith in myself, I could eventually achieve the success I was searching for.
