Step Forward

I'm tired of hearing you continue to complain
That the sky is falling and it's nothing more than a little rain
Chicken Little ain't got a thing on you
Go ahead and hold your breath till your face turns blue
Not everything can be done in just one way
Take a step forward and call it a day

--Chorus--
Take a step forward
Just one at a time
Take a step forward
And you'll do just fine
Take a step forward
And everyone will follow you
Take a step forward
Like the big boys do

If you keep getting pushed back every single day
Take a step forward
It's the only way
If the odds in front of you seem insurmountable
Take it in stride and hold yourself accountable
Keep pushing forward
You'll get things done
Take a step forward
And keep the whole world stunned

-chorus-

Author's Note
It's the obligatory old man teaching moment song. It's required when you get old to impart a little wisdom along the way. Also, if I don't do these every once in awhile people forget I'm old.
