One Step at a Time

Written by: Madelyn Brannon

Senior years coming to an end,
The start of something new will begin,
And everything is changing,
I feel excited and I feel afraid,
Unsure of what the future will bring,
But I trust that you’ll lead me

And though I’m sad I’m happy too,
The best is yet to come,
I know you’ll guide me through

So I’m taking it one step at a time,
Reflecting on all the years that have gone by,
Won’t let it hold me back,
Won’t let it make me cry,
I know I’ll be alright,
Yeah, I’m taking it one step at a time,
The future’s near,
Can’t wait to see what it’ll be like,
Letting go of this chapter in my life,
Turning the page,
Taking it one step at a time

My heart is full of so much gratitude,
Looking back at the past twelve years of school,
So much I was able to do,
The friendships made,
And the memories that will last,
The special times that I had with my class,
I’ve gotta accept that it’s now in the past

And though I’m sad I’m happy too,
The best is yet to come,
I know you’ll guide me through

So I’m taking it one step at a time,
Reflecting on all the years that have gone by,
Won’t let it hold me back,
Won’t let it make me cry,
I know I’ll be alright,
Yeah, I’m taking it one step at a time,
The future's near,
Can’t wait to see what it’ll be like,
Letting go of this chapter in my life,
Turning the page,
Taking it one step at a time

Goodbyes are never easy,
And not knowing is never fun,
But I just have to keep trusting,
You’ll be with me through it all,
And tears are now falling down,
While joy overwhelms my heart,
Cause I realize there is beauty,
In being present right where you are

So I’m taking it one step at a time,
Reflecting on all the years that have gone by,
Won’t let it hold me back,
Won’t let it make me cry,
I know I’ll be alright
So I’m taking it one step at a time,
Reflecting on all the years that have gone by,
Won’t let it hold me back,
Won’t let it make me cry,
I know I’ll be alright,
Yeah I’m taking it one step at a time,
The future's near,
Can’t wait to see what it’ll be like,
Letting go of this chapter in my life,
Turning the page,
Taking it one step at a time
