Step by step

Step by step the morning rise, step by step my spirit cries, things are not the way it should be and so I journey across the southern sea searching for a path to be free. I track through high grass and high land, tobacco plantation and soya beans farm, and I kept walking just to stay alive with nature by my side.

 I could hear the rattle snakes in the bushes making strange sound that reached beneath the ground, with bruised bodies they crawl out of the bushes with vengeance in their head and toxin in their tails loaded with venom from the trees, but step by step I made it safely across the sea.

  You are never alone when the wind is passing through the town; keep close to gravity on the ground for plans never work the same way every day, sometimes the sun shines bright and lights up the sky but sometimes the moon crosses its path and the whole world gets dark, and you are forced to seek company with the old lark and meditate with the anchor at the altar. 

Come and sing this song with me it has everything that you need to set you free; I cannot give you everything that you need, but there is one thing that I know; step by step your heart will grow. 

The shadows if the earth will pass and the universe will escape from the dark, mars will become earth and the moon will not just be a mental phenomenon, it can perhaps be a place where you can reside and explore moon science for the rest of your life.

Open the door and take me around the town and show me where destiny is bound. Pig feed is sold for a shilling a pound and there are growing needs filtering around but step by step we can fulfill the mandate if everyone gather around and lay the bricks one by one until you elevate me to the top. 

Men of power agree to disagree and so there are time when you have to cross the turbulent sea. Review the plans once more, before you open the door, when I am satisfied, I will put my signature to it and steps by step I will cross the Ts and Ss’ and smile at the profits and benefits.
Step by Step I will make it.
