Another Step

1.
A new year comes And I’m so tired I’m so afraid the worst is yet to come I’ve got some hope ’Cause it’s required But it is hard to drum up The enthusiasm After the past year beat me down It won the battle and then some Most days I’m numb But mostly functional A new year starts With resolutions I used to stay up Dreaming through the night Of grand success Of evolution And recognition I would take in stride But after waves came crashing down I’m simply trying not to drown It’s hard enough to get things done Without the pressure and the hype But if I take another step And then another and then another I’m gonna make a different map With many wonders to discover January, February I’ll be counting one two three Down a path I cannot see Move my feet steadily So here’s to those Who didn’t make it And here’s to us Those of us still here A new year comes Ours for the taking To make a choice To live or die in fear But if we take another step And then another Then still another And choose our hearts Over our heads We’ll make it all the way to summer March to April, May and June Sun will greet us none too soon Keep it up till flowers bloom And we will And we will And we will And we will We will shine And we will we will We will shine

This song is dedicated to my mom. She left us a year ago. I’m also dedicating to all of you who have lost someone you love.
Let’s keep walking forward, with love, intention, and music to lift us up. Big thanks to Pianoman Darrell [ピアノマン・ダリル] for this beautiful duet and to Fernando Perdomo for helping complete it.
