[Chorus: Kay]
Hey!
How ya gonna run when you can't walk
You'll be holding up signs like
Hey!
Gotta hitch another ride to the bus stop
Cause I think I just lost my way
I'll be knocking down doors till I make it
And I don't have a dime well
One step at a time, one step at a time, one step at a time
Yeah

[Verse 1: Kay]
2005 I'm in line for my green card
Still haven't got it but I haven't varied it so far
2009 singing songs in my basement
No money, more problems, I'll never make it
Daydream about life at the top when in real life I'm waiting at a bus stop
Pissballed student, I was always truant
I flunked out of school but in life I'm fluent

[Pre-Chorus: Kay]
Somebody told me life seeks more than you think
But I've been putting up thumbs cause it makes me up free
But when I'm getting home I hope to God that I'm not late
Till then I look to myself in the mirror and say
[Chorus: Kay]
Hey!
How ya gonna run when you can't walk
You'll be holding up signs like
Hey!
Gotta hitch another ride to the bus stop
Cause I think I just lost my way
I'll be knocking down doors till I make it
And I don't have a dime well
One step at a time, one step at a time, one step at a time
Yeah

[Verse 2: Kay]
Waiting on a call that could change it all
Wonder if they have the right phone number
But if I had to chase if I couldn't face
1-2-3-4-5 steps forward
Sometimes it's hard to believe that believing that me ain't stupid
'Cause back then I would've decided dear
Used to have short hair even just to look fair

[Pre-Chorus: Kay]
Somebody told me life seeks more than you think
But I've been putting up thumbs cause it makes me up free
But when I'm going home I hope to God that I'm not late
Till then I look to myself in the mirror and say
[Chorus: Kay]
Hey!
How ya gonna run when you can't walk
You'll be holding up signs like
Hey!
Gotta hitch another ride to the bus stop
Cause I think I just lost my way
I'll be knocking down doors till I make it
And I don't have a dime well
One step at a time, one step at a time, one step at a time
Yeah

[Verse 3: Ryan Tedder]
Oh, lord I pray each word I deliver
Will have life, and flow like a river
I'd take each day as you've given to all of us sinners
Lord I pray each word I deliver
Will have life like a river
I'd take each day as you've given
But I've got to say...

[Chorus: Kay]
Hey!
How ya gonna run when you can't walk
You'll be holding up signs like
Hey!
Gotta hitch another ride to the bus stop
Cause I think I just lost my way
I'll be knocking down doors till I make it
And I don't have a dime well
One step at a time, one step at a time, one step at a time
Yeah
[Outro: Kay]
How ya gonna run when you can't walk
You'll be holding up signs like
Hey!
Gotta hitch another ride to the bus stop
Cause I think I just lost my way
Hey, hey
Cause I think I just lost my way
Hey, hey, hey
