Little baby boy, sittin' 'round his toys Gettin' tired of crawlin' He's pullin' up on an easy chair He's gonna try a little walkin' He's takin' steps A six year old with a new school bag Starin' down his drive Holdin' on to his mama's hand He's going on his first bus ride He's takin' steps A teenage boy in a rented tux Reaching out a trembling hand To a pretty young girl in a satin dress Asking her to dance Steps, some big, some small Puttin' one foot after the other Steps, the trick to it all Is diggin' down to find a little courage And it's okay to be afraid You gotta have faith, 'cause life's all about steps 22 years she stood by a man Who did her wrong With a packed suitcase and a Greyhound ticket She's finally gone Takin' steps At a meeting downtown, a tired old drunk Stands and says his name That leaves him eleven to go He can already feel the change Takin' steps Somewhere a great Grandpa says "I'm ready to go" Peacefully drifts off to sleep Wakes up on streets of gold Steps, some big, some small Puttin' one foot after the other Steps, the trick to it all Is diggin' down to find a little courage It's okay to be afraid Gotta have faith, 'cause life's all about Steps, some big, some small Puttin' one foot after the other Steps, the trick to it all Is diggin' down to find a little courage And it's okay to be afraid You gotta have faith, 'cause life's all about steps
