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
