One step at a time
No matter how long it takes
I will make the climb
Learn from the mistakes I've made

When times are looking tough
I will be looking up to you
I found a better life
That'll be the one that I choose

I need answers
Nobody ever, nobody seems to know
Sticks and stones will never
Break these bones

One step at a time
No matter how long it takes
I will make the climb
Learn from the mistakes I've made

And I'll prove it to you, prove it to you, prove it to you
Prove it to you, prove it to you, prove without a doubt
Give me the one chance, the one chance
So I can, so I can prove to you

It's time to realize
See the world with open eyes, oh
And I will never stop
Even when I reach the top, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh

I need answers
Nobody ever, nobody seems to know
No one seems to know
Sticks and stones will never
Break these bones

One step at a time
No matter how long it takes
I will make the climb
Learn from the mistakes I've made

And I'll prove it to you, prove it to you, prove it to you
Prove it to you, prove it to you, prove without a doubt
Give me the one chance, the one chance
So I can, so I can prove to you

I might bend but I'm not gonna break no more
Might be tired, but I'm not about to give up, no
I might bend, but I'm not gonna break no more
(I'm not going to give up)
No sticks and no stones

And I'll prove it to you, prove it to you, prove it to you
Prove it to you, prove it to you, prove without a doubt
Give me the one chance, the one chance
So I can, so I can prove to you
So I can prove to you

No matter how long it takes
One step at a time
I will make the climb
Learn from the mistakes I've made

And I'll prove it to you, prove it to you, prove it to you
Prove it to you, prove it to you, prove without a doubt
Give me the one chance, the one chance
So I can, so I can prove to you
So I can prove to you
So I can prove to you
So I can prove to you
