I used to chase the morning sun
With fire in my soul
Now I take the time to watch it rise
And make me whole
Gray is showing in the mirror
But I don't mind the view
I've learned to walk these roads
With patience that feels new
Dreams I held didn't all land where I aimed them to
Some paths curved in ways I never thought they do
But looking back through every high and every low
I see the wisdom only steady footsteps show
One step at a time, that's the way we go
Through the mystery of what we cannot know
Every season brings a clearer, softer light
There's a quiet grace when day turns into night
No need to fight the curve pulling at our feet
Every mile will teach the heart its own sweet beat
I can feel it as the moments gently unfold
There's a quiet power in growing old
There was a time I never stopped to catch my breath or rest
Pushing forward through the fire of every test
Now I linger by the window with a favorite tune
Letting the breeze decide the rhythm of the afternoon
Used to think the peak of life had come and gone too soon
That the best was always hiding in the past cartoon
But the truth has a way of whispering soft and clear
The finest moments bloom when you hold them near
I carry all the stories from the road I walk so long
Every lesson turned into a heartfelt song
Time keeps moving forward without mercy or delay
But there's one good waiting in the light of every day
One step at a time, that's the way we go
Through the mystery of what we cannot know
And the more I walk, the more I understand
The truest treasures lie right here at hand
No need to fight the curve pulling at our feet
Every sunrise brings a brand new heat
Now I know it, as the years unfold
There's a quiet power in growing old
Mm
