I live in a small house
On the end of a quiet street
Just doing my best
To take care of my family
I work pretty long hours
Lately I feel my age
Dodging every bullet
Resolute and fluid
Laughing as I skirt by
Another close shave
One foot
In front of the other I am
One step
Behind it all
Time never stops the clock
Just keeps marching on
Marching on marching on
Marching on marching on
Everyday has its problems
Every night has its own reward
Every dawn ambles on
Of its own accord
Joy and sorrow
Are borne on a loving wind
With simple dedication
Every generation
Holding it together
For family and friends
One foot
In front of the other we are
One step
Behind it all
Time never stops the clock
Just keeps marching on
Marching on marching on
Marching on marching
One foot
In front of the other I am
One step
Behind it all
Time never stops the clock
Just keeps marching on
Marching on marching on
Marching on marching
There are moments
I want to throw the towel in
But it would be just my luck to find
I need it back again
♪
At the edge of the morning
As coral light bleeds to gray
The sky catches in your breath
And you greet the day
With the art of a trickster
And a well-rehearsed slight of hand
Steady as a heart beat
Moving down each new street
Needing to believe
We are part of some plan
One foot
In front of the other I am
One step
Behind it all
Time never stops the clock
Just keeps marching on
Marching on marching on
Marching on marching
One foot
In front of the other we are
One step
Behind it all
Time never stops the clock
Just keeps marching on
Marching on marching on
Marching on marching on
One Foot
In front of the other
One step behind it all
Marching on marching on
Marching on
One Foot
In front of the other
One step
Behind it all
Marching on marching on
Marching on
One Foot
In front of the other
One step
Behind it all
Marching on marching on
Marching on
One Foot
In front of the other
