Step By Step Lyrics
I Didn't have the Heart to play
But sooner or later
I'll find a reason to throw it away
Risin' on the crest of a natural wave
That Never seems to break my way
I'm livin' without it
But I got to Do something about it
Step by step take it line by line
Move move move, move a Little closer
Livin' on the don't pass line
Sooner or later
I Got to lose cause I'm wasting my time
Lady luck must have been a wonderful girl
She's never been a Friend of mine
I'm living without her
But I still got that mountain to climb
Step by step rake it line by line
Move move move, move a little closer
These lyrics are a little bit wrong:
I was just a joker in a serious game I didn't have the heart to play But sooner or later I'll find a reason to tkrow it away Risin' on the crest of a natural wave That never seems to break my way I'm livin' without it But I got to do something about it
Step by step, little by little move a little closer to me Step by step take it line by line one day at a time Move move move, move a little closer to me Step by step The deal is mine
I was just a runner in a one horse race Livin' on the don't pass line Sooner or later I got to lose cause I'm wasting my time Lady Luck must have been a wonderful girl She's never been a friend of mine I'm living without her But I still got that mountain to climb
Step by step, little by little, move a little closer to me Step by step take it line by line, one day at a time Move move move, move a little closer to me Step by step the deal is mine
Step by step little by little, move a little closer to me Step by step take it line by line, one day at a time Move move move, move a little closer to me Step by step, the deal is mine
sounds like someone gambling or betting on a horse race maybe anyone have any ideas?
I think this song is about someone who doesn't take risks, but realizes that he now must make a risk.
The person who doesn't 'have the heart to play', doesn't, because he assumes he will lose anyway. This song is about building hope in the face of hopelessness. Maybe you can talk yourself into hope, but at the same time, it doesn't change the reality of your chances of success (not so good).
