STEP BY STEP

CHORUS

Step by step, day by day
You lose no mind, and you pave your way
Climbing mountains takes time, hear these words I say
Just take it step by step, and day by day

VERSE 1

When you gotta a job to do, keep your sights set high
Aint nothin’ stoppin’ you, reaching past the sky
The only limit, is here in your mind
Just take a little step forward, a day at a time

Don’t you know that
Nothin’ is gained without struggle and strife
Be grateful for moments that bring joy to your life
When you wake in the mornin’, give thanks for your days
And make a promise to yourself not to let
Your dreams pass away

CHORUS

VERSE 2

Don’t pass no judgement on another man’s shoes
Till you’ve seen the path he walks and the work he’s gotta do
Free yourself from past mistakes, forgive and let go
Don’t forget to start each day with new wisdom and growth
Cos you know that
Behind every dream there is joy and pain
Learn to get up when you’re kicked and start again
Don’t pay no mind to the words that others will say
Just keep on keepin’ on, keepin’ on
And smile along the way

Step by step, day by day
You lose no mind, and you pave your way
Climbing mountains takes time, hear these words I say
Just take it step by step, and day by day

BRIDGE

Gotta keep on movin’ on
Just keep on movin’ on

Gotta keep on movin’ on
Just keep on movin’ on

Gotta keep on movin’ on
Just keep on movin’ on

Gotta keep on movin’ on
Just keep on movin’ on

Melissa James is a Singer, Songwriter, Artist, a vocal coach and facilitator of a cappella group singing workshops. Melissa is the founder of the charitable mental health and Big Sing initiative SING4SANE. This project was spearheaded by Melissa's song Live Again after she decided to organise a pop-up Big Sing in which she invited members of the public to sing this song alongside her at Caffe Nero in Heathrow in February 2016. Subsequently, further invitees joined her in creating a Big Sing recording of Live Again at London's RAK Studios. This work has furthered Melissa’s belief that music is a powerful tool for healing and connection with others.
