Often times the silk and 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

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

It may seem 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

It's 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
