Oh, one step at a time
That's all its really gonna take
You find the time to look yourself in the eye and say
'Hey kid, I think you're great'
I wasn't raised to be a racist
And I wasn't born to give into hate
I wasn't taught to get the other guy first
To knock 'em down before it's too late
Oh, one step at a time
That's all its really gonna take
You find the time to look yourself in the eye and say
'Hey kid, I think you're great'
I didn't come to bury hatchets
And neither will I dig them up
But I have seen what turns a hand into a fist
Now I can barely wait or trust in my luck
Oh, one step at a time
That's all its really gonna take
You find the time to look yourself in the eye and say
'Hey kid, I think you're great'
I didn't try to make life easy
Or forge my bonds for them to break
I never needed to run with the pack
Or play the town with all the fakes
Oh, one step at a time
That's all its really gonna take
You find the time to look yourself in the eye and say
'Hey kid, I think you're great'
D'you put it on when there's someone around?
Give it away like it's something you found?
You better change, get from under your cloud
Take a long look and get yourself off of the ground
D'you put it on when there's someone around?
Give it away like it's something you found?
You better change, get from under your cloud
Take a long look and get yourself off of the ground
