Lyrics
One step, another, you've got to keep moving.
Each day there's something you've got to keep proving.
Gladness, or sorrow, or madness tomorrow,
The world spins with or without you.
And somehow you've got to find your own way,
Look for someone to love while you may,
For love is our rhyme and reason
In this world for staying true.
And only love will do,
Yes, only love will do for you.
Weary, or wistful, don't think of surrender.
Just when you do so, the skies rain down splendor.
Fortune, or malice, a hovel or palace,
The world spins with or without you.
And somehow you've got to find your own way.
Look for someone to love while you may.
For love is our rhyme and reason
In this world for staying true,
And only love will do,
Yes, only love will do for you.
Not power, not glory,
They're really not the story.
They'll never do
What love can do.
