Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gotta Take The First Step Before The Second
First One's The Hardest One To Fake
First One I Was On The Lookout
The Second One Was Uphill All The Way
I Wanna See My Soul Reflection
In A Morning Cafe Window Pane
I Wanna See Myself Tomorrow
As Someone I Don't See Today

Step By Step I Hear You Calling
Step By Step It's Just...
Step By Step I Hear My Warnings
Step By Step It's Just One Day At A Time

Always Saw Myself As A Victim
One That I Had To Create
Always An Excuse For My Addictions
But I Had To Stand Up, Take My Place

I Wanna See The Morning Colors
Ones That I've Avoided For So Long
I Wanna See Myself Tomorrow
As Someone I Don't See Today

Step By Step I Hear You Calling
Step By Step It's Just...
Step By Step I Hear Your Warnings
Step By Step It's Just One Day At A Time

I Heard About Secrets In A Love So Divine
Comin' Down From The Heavens
In Time Your Soul Will Shine

Step By Step I Hear You Calling
Step By Step It's Just One Day At A Time
Step By Step I Heed Your Warnings
Step By Step It's Just...
Step By Step Do You See Me Falling
Step By Step It's Just One Day At A Time




Step By Step It's A New Morning
Step By Step It's Just...One Day At A Time
