Life isn’t alive if you’re standing still
Never walked in these shoes that I never could fill
I look out before me and m knees start to bend
They buckle and fail and I fall again
On my hands and knees, I’ll crawl if I must
In my destiny, forever I shall trust

One step forward and two steps back
I stumble and fall for all that I lack
If anyone’s perfect its sure not me
Someday I’ll become all I can be

So take my hand and bring me to my feet
I’ll raise my eyes for the new day to meet
To walk, to run to fall again
To break my bones and scar my skin
But with your hand you show your faith in me
And in my heart I will believe

One step forward and two steps back
I stumble and fall for all that I lack
If anyone’s perfect its sure not me
Someday I’ll become all I can be

Soon I will stand proud and stand by you
I’ll be happy to say I saw things through
Though my knees still bend they won’t buckle or break
One step at a time, this life, I’ll take
I’ll surrender my pride, I’ll surrender my fear
Take it all in stride and I’ll hold you dear

One step forward and two steps back
I stumble and fall for all that I lack
If anyone’s perfect its sure not me
One day I’ll become all that I can be

One step forward is all I need
Your legs already carried you to me
Even if I fall, in your arms I’ll land
I’d rather lie by your side than take a stand
If we have to run, if we have to flee
Each step you take, caries me
