Song’s Lyrics:
You gotta put one foot in front of the other
And lead with love
Put one foot in front of the other
And lead with love
(repeat all 4 lines)
Verses (call and response)
Don’t give up hope
You’re not alone
Don’t you give up
Keep movin on
Lift up your eyes
Don’t you despair
Look up ahead
The path is there
I know you’re scared
And I’m scared too
But here I am
Right next to you
Last chorus: repeat last line two more times
