Step By Step

About Step By Step

"“Step by Step” is a song originally written and recorded by Annie Lennox. The song appeared on the B-Side to Lennox's 1992 single "Precious”. Whitney Houston released a reworked cross over R&B pop cover version in 1996 on the album “The Preacher's Wife”. Houston's version replaces Lennox's verses with new lyrics and omits portions of the bridge. Annie Lennox provides backing vocals for Houston's rendition.

Well, there's a bridge
And there's a river
That I still must cross
As I'm going on my journey
Oh, I might be lost

And there's a road I have to follow
A place I have to go
Well, no one told me just how to get there
But when I get there I'll know
'Cause I'm taking it

Step by step
Bit by bit
Stone by stone (yeah)
Brick by brick (oh yeah)
Step by step
Day by day
Mile by mile (ooh, ooh, ooh)

And this old road is rough and ruined
So many dangers along the way
So many burdens might fall upon me
So many troubles that I have to face

Oh, but I won't let my spirit fail me
Oh, I won't let my spirit go
Until I get to my destination
I'm gonna take it slow
Because I'm making it mine

Step by step (you know I'm taking it)
Bit by bit (bit by bit, come move)
Stone by stone (yeah)
Brick by brick (brick by brick by brick by brick, mmm)
Step by step (step by step, I'm gonna)
Day by day (day by day)
Mile by mile (ooh), go your way, go your way

Say it, baby, don't give up
You've got to hold on to what you got
Oh, baby, don't give up
You've got to keep on moving on, don't stop (yeah, yeah)
I know you're hurting (I know you're hurting)
And I know you're blue (I know you're blue)
I know you're hurting (I know you're hurting)
But don't let the bad things get to you

I'm taking it step by step (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Bit by bit (bit by bit, come move)
Stone by stone (stone by stone, yeah)
Brick by brick (brick by brick by brick by brick)
Step by step (I'm gonna take it now)
Day by day (day by day)
Mile by mile (ooh), go your own way, go your own way

(Come on, baby, got to keep moving)
(Come on, baby, got to keep moving)
(I'm taking it step by step) Bit by bit
(Come on, baby, got to keep moving)
(Come on, baby, got to keep moving)
(Come on, baby, got to keep moving)
Stone by stone (yeah, stone by stone), brick by brick
(Come on, baby, got to keep moving)
(Come on, baby, got to keep moving)
Come on, baby
(Come on, baby, got to keep moving)
Step by step keep on moving, day by day (day by day-ee)
