One Step At A Time

one step at a time
yes indeed
one step at a time
that’s what we need
that’s how we change the world
one step at a time

one step at a time
every one
one step at a time
that’s how it’s done
that’s how we change the world
one step at a time

it seems so lost and lonesome
when you’re out there on your own
so come on in and join us
and see how we have grown

for the good of all humanity
we raise our voice to call
healthcare is a human right
for everyone and all

one step at a time
any kind of weather
one step at a time
doin’ it together
that’s the way we go
one step at a time

when they built the unions
and they won the right to strike
it took a lot of organizing
it didn’t happen over night

things we take for granted
they did not come for free
somebody had to struggle
so why not you and me

one step at a time
picking up the slack
one step at a time
no turning back
ain’t no stoppin’ us now
one step at a time

when women got the vote
it took a little time
but they just kept goin’
till they crossed the finish line

and the gays and the lesbians
who raised the battle cry
now they’re getting married
with their heads held high

one step at a time
just keep walkin’
one step at a time
singin’ and talkin’
we’ll get there makin’ noise
one step at a time

if we want to steer this ship
we’re gonna need a lot of hands
a lot of trimmin’ sales
a lot of makin’ plans

away with all obstacles
we are coming through
we’ve climbed a lot of mountains
we’re gonna climb this one too

one step at a time
swingin’ on a hammer
just like Selma
Alabama
we’ll cross that bridge
one step at a time

one step at a time
talkin’ to your neighbor
sayin’ “howdy friend
would you do me a favor?
check out this pamphlet about health care
tell me what you think”

one step at a time
would you sign this position
I know it seems like an imposition
but we’re trying to get this
thing on the ballot

one step at a time
one neighborhood
one city, one county
one bioregion
one state at a time

one step at a time
one city council
one county council
one supervisor
one mayor
one governor at a time

one step at a time
yes indeed
one step at a time
that’s what we need
we’re gonna get there makin’ noise
one step at a time

and we’re gonna get there makin’ noise
one step at a time
we’re gonna get there singin’ songs
one step at a time
we’re gonna get there
one step at a time
