It's a long walk home for the heart and soul
And as for me and mine we've got a ways to go
So I thank the lord I don't walk alone
'Cause he's a light unto my winding road
Step by step
Day by day
It's a long walk home

But I know the way
And I, for one, will run this old race
'Til kingdom come and I see his face
Death, he keeps an easy street
But that highway isn't meant for me
Step by step
Day by day
It's a long walk home

But I know the way
And I, for one, will run this old race
'Til kingdom come and I see his face
Step by step
Day by day
It's a long walk home
But I know the way
And I will run, run, run this old race
'Til kingdom come and I see his face
