(H.Ashley)

A just take it one step at a time
Just one step at a time

Word by word and take it page by page
Just one step at a time
It may take a little bit longer
But the way do we even get stronger
One step at a time boy, Just one step at a time

You gotta plant your feet on solid ground
You can't climb a tree and then chop it down
You gotta start from scratch work your way on up
Every hound dog once was a pup
Just one step at a time boy
Just one step at a time

Word by word and take it page by page
Just one step at a time
It may take a little bit longer
But the way do we even get stronger
One step at a time boy, Just one step at a time

Day by day and take it year by year

Just one step at a time
The one true way to get all you need is
To start out slow and then pick up speed
One step at a time boy, Just one step at a time
Just one way a boy can be a man
A start out young and go as fast you can
And if you wanna grow up to be a ripe old age
Stick to the book and live it page by page
One step at a time boy

Just one step at a time
Day by day and take it year by year

Just one step at a time
It may take a little bit longer
But the way to be even be stronger
One step at a time boy, Just one step at a time
