Up With People

A Single Step

Mama said early on:
Sometimes you lose the race,
You just gotta move on.
Keep pace, the road is long.
So wear your bravest face,
Find out where you belong.

This is your road, this is your day.
This is your time: where you're goin's never too far away.

A thousand miles, somebody said,
Start when we take a single step.
A thousand reasons to begin,
To move ahead.

It's where you're goin' and where you been
Cuz the beginnings never end.
Another road, another chance
To move ahead... take a step.

Oh… a single step

We don't know what lies beyond,
But everyday we get up,
We just gotta move on.
Different paths, different starts
Come together in
The common beat of our hearts.

This is our road, this is our day.
This is our time: where we're goin's never too far away

A thousand miles, somebody said … etc.

A step toward justice, a step for the Earth,
A step for people in a world of hurt.

A step from fear, a step toward trust,
A step toward reason – no more them and us.
A thousand miles, somebody said … etc.

Time Machine
Vocal Arrangement: Michael Bowerman
Recorded at Side 3 Studios, Denver CO
Let's look back to a scene
Streets full of people, followin' a dream.
Rosa, Ghandi, and King, fightin' for change in the world to be seen.
We come far but we're not done.
Years later the dream's still chased, from
Disco days to the y2k's
Got a lot more changes to come. C'mon

Yesterday was once tomorrow
Right now happens in-between
Get on board this time machine

Round and round, we keep turnin'
Upside down, 'stead of takin'
One step forward then two steps back
With what we know can we change the track

Time moves nonstop.
Every day, a new change in our thoughts.
The clock ticks if we like it or not
So while we're here, why not give it all that we got?
This is our chance, this our time, this is our moment in history.
Let the past teach us a lesson: it's
Time we step in the right direction.

Yesterday was once tomorrow… etc.
