Living Life With Gilbert Tan

One Step At A Time

One Step At A Time

"It was not a very romantic theme to write a song for. But it was Tan Tock Seng Hospital's Department of Rehabilitation Ward's 25th Anniversary. So this song is meant to encourage spinal cord injured, stroke victims, amputees and brain-damaged patients. Perhaps what helped was I went through the struggles myself, and hopefully am able to relate and empathize with the daily situations."

Lyrics:

You've had your falls
Learning to walk, then as a child
Through hurts and fears
Trying again, you made a stand

No, you didn't give in
Choosing to win
You've learnt to survive it all

CHORUS:
One step at a time
One beat of the heart
That's how each journey
of life must start
Every day when you wake
Every breath that you take
Brings you closer to knowing
I'm gonna make it
One step at a time

You've had your back
Against the wall, against the odds
Through thick and thin
In battles fought, you've stayed alive

No, you didn't give in
Choosing to win
You've learnt to survive it all

Repeat chorus and end


Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. (KJV)

Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (NIV)
