First, you breathe the air
And then you scream because it stung
You were baby blue and blind
When it shocked your tiny lungs

Slowly over time
Like a season turning leaves
You turned your fingers into fists
And all your stumbles into speed
After years and years of running
You finally stopped to clear your eyes
And wondered how you wound up here
In the middle of the sky

One step at a time
You climb til' you find yourself rising
One step at a time
You try til' you crack
Til' you're riding on the shoulders of a giant
Ridin' on the shoulders of a giant

One step at a time
You climb til' you find yourself rising
One step at a time
You try til' you crack
Til' you're riding on the shoulders of a giant
Ridin' on the shoulders of a giant
