Song Lyrics

After all, it's a step in the right direction
It's a step in the right direction after all
After all, it's a step in the direction
It's a step the right direction after all

When a baby spider
Tries to trap a fly
Often times, the silken thread
Will come awry
Though a tangled web is all that he can claim
It's a step in the right direction all the same

All the same, it's a step in the right direction
It's a step in the right direction all the same
All the same, it's a step in the right direction
It's a step in the right direction all the same

When a little sparrow wants to leave the nest
First he has to put his feathers to the test
Tumbling from a treetop can't be called success
But, it's a step in the right direction nonetheless

Nonetheless, it's a step in the right direction
It's a step in the right direction nonetheless
Nonetheless, it's a step in the right direction
It's a step in the right direction nonetheless

Watch the tiny totters inching up a hill
It may seems to you he's merely standing still
Though the steps he takes are infinitely small
They're a step in the right direction after all

After all, it's a step in the right direction
It's a step in the right direction after all
After all, it's a step in the right direction
It's a step the right direction after all
