Step by Step in Time

Mm I don't run like I did back then Takes a breath just to start again Morning light finds lines on my face But I've learned to move at a kind of pace Plans I made didn't all come true Some roads bent, some outgrew Still, I found in the changing view What stays with you is what you choose We're just walking this road, step by step in time Little sparks in a grand design Every year brings a clearer sight There's a quiet grace in another sunrise No need to race what we can't control Every mile shapes the heart and soul I believe as the days unfold There's a kind of strength in growing old Mm-mm There was a time I chased every mile Now I linger just to rest a while Windows down with a slower song Let the moment carry me alone Used to think the best was gone too fast Like joy was tied to a fading past But the truth has a way of showing through Some of the best comes later on for you We're just walking this road, step by step in time Little sparks in a grand design Every year brings a softer view Of the things that really matter to you Through the turns and the highs and lows There's a peace that the heart can know And I see as the days unfold There's a quiet gift in growing old I won't forget where I've been before Every lesson opened up a door Time moves on, it won't slow down But there's beauty waiting all around We're just walking this road, step by step in time Little sparks in a grand design And the more that I live and learn The more I see what's truly earned No need to feel what I can't control Every day shapes the heart and soul Now I know as the days unfold There's nothing wrong with growing old Mm-mm
