  • Hurry up and wait
    So close, but so far away
    Everything that you've always dreamed of
    Close enough for you to taste
    But you just can't touch

    You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
    Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
    You know you can if you get the chance
    In your face as the door keeps slamming
    Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
    And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

    We live and we learn to take
    One step at a time
    There's no need to rush
    It's like learning to fly
    Or falling in love
    It's gonna happen and it's
    Supposed to happen that we
    Find the reasons why
    One step at a time

    You believe and you doubt
    You're confused, you got it all figured out
    Everything that you always wished for
    Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
    If they only knew

    You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
    Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
    You know you can if you get the chance
    In your face as the door keeps slamming
    Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
    And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

    We live and we learn to take
    One step at a time
    There's no need to rush
    It's like learning to fly
    Or falling in love
    It's gonna happen and it's
    Supposed to happen that we
    Find the reasons why
    One step at a time

    When you can't wait any longer
    But there's no end in sight
    when you need to find the strength
    It's the faith that makes you stronger
    The only way you get there
    Is one step at a time

    We live and we learn to take
    One step at a time
    There's no need to rush
    It's like learning to fly
    Or falling in love
    It's gonna happen and it's
    Supposed to happen that we
    Find the reasons why
    One step at a time

    We live and we learn to take
    One step at a time
    There's no need to rush
    It's like learning to fly
    Or falling in love
    It's gonna happen and it's
    Supposed to happen that we
    Find the reasons why
