Story Behind the Song
This song is about figuring out your direction and taking that dreaded first step, hoping that it will make the next steps easier to take. I try to keep thissong in mind when I take on something new, something challenging. I struggled a little with the lyrics for this one. The steps after coming up with "One Step" were not as easy as I thought.
Lyrics
One step in the right direction
Hope it takes me all the way
I am trying to make a better
Life for myself today
Never used to get me nowhere
Always used to be so hard
But if I just keep my head up maybe luck is in the cards
This time, I'll find a better way
Starting right here, starting today
This time, is gonna be my shot
Ready to give all I've got
One step in the right direction
Hope it takes me all the way
I am trying to make a better
Life for myself today
Never used to get me nowhere
Always used to be so hard
But if I just keep on pushin'
Lady Luck will do her part
This time, I'll find a better way
Starting right here, starting today
This time, is gonna be my shot
Ready to give all I've got
One step in the right direction
Hope it takes me all the way
I am trying to make a better
Life for myself today
Never used to get me nowhere
Never seemed to make the grade
But I'm gonna keep on pushin'
Til the day I've got it made
This time, I'll find a better way
Starting right here, starting today
This time, is gonna be my shot
Ready to give all I've got
