Take It One Step and One Day At a Time

(Dedicated to those of us who live 24 hours at a time.)

It's funny how people change in their lives
The things they held sacred, often go awry
For those whose lives are changin'
I offer these words of advice
Take it one step and one day at a time
Take it one step and one day at a time

Remember all the dreams you had
And how they gave you life
Look around you are they still the same
Or has time changed their size
For those whose lives are changin'
I offer these words of advice
Take it one step and one day at a time
Take it one step and one day at a time

No matter where you're headed
No matter where you've been
Treat life as a river
A challenge round every bend
For those whose lives are changin'
I offer these words of advice
Take it one step and one day at a time
Take it one step and one day at a time

I know one thing for certain
Since I've lived for ----- odd years
No matter how life seems to you
There's always the new and unsure
And these new things can be conquered
With a feeling heart and clear head
Take it one step and one day at a time
Take it one step and one day at a time

And as I finish this song to you
I ask you only this
Remember the words I've sung to you
And never feel amiss
For there's hope for those lives that are changin'
So remember my sweet advice
Take it one step and one day at a time
Take it one step and one day at a time
Take it one step and one day at a time
