Step, Step, Step

Step, step, step
You see your feet move forward
But you move nowhere and nowhere can be found
Your feet feel heavy, what once felt light

The ease of trampling now seems like a dark night
Air, cold and chilly, challenges you forward
It pushes you to feel a warmth never felt before
Touch the dream, taste the feel

In order to move anywhere you must push the air
The apple falls from the tree due to gravity
But to pick it up and taste its juiciness, 
You must defy that gravity

It is the time to defy gravity and move from the rut
To shake off the dust and be prepared to experience the new
To move, feel light and free
Up, up, up

This is how we step, step, step
Away from a hole that holds us back
Because beyond the hole, 
An adventure waits to lighten our step 

Let the excitement push the load
And step, step, step
