David Bradshaw - One Foot in Front of the Other

One Foot In Front of the Other

One foot in front of the other,

Is how anything gets done.

One foot in front of the other,

Is how every great journey's begun.

To tell yourself, 'just go and do it!'

Is harder than they'll ever know.

But one foot in front of the other,

Will take you where you want to go.

One foot in front of the other,

In any direction you need.

One foot in front of the other,

As long as it's at your own speed.

Running before you can walk,

Is never a good way to be.

But with one foot in front of the other,

You'll get there eventually.

One foot in front of the other,

In shoes that are comfy and warm.

That one foot in front of the other,

Will carry you on through the storm.

To feel you should rise to the challenge,

Is all very well in good time.

But with one foot in front of the other,

That step up is less of a climb.

One foot in front of the other,

Who cares if your journey's delayed.

One foot in front of the other,

Is how any progress is made.

Nearly a quarter of all your bones are in your feet.
