About This Song


OK, Funny story, This is a song I just put together. It is from a poem by Maureen McDole that had a challenge/contest that it be put to music. Problem is, the contest was three years ago. It pays to read the fine print.

Feedback Requested

Well you got a cool song out of it, even if you are 3 years too late….Only crit is the TITLE…IMO it should be “Step by Step”....I would also put the last line in my CHORUS “Step by Step” ...That’s what I hear

Good job, James. I agree with Steve on the title and repeating it at the end of the chorus. Good marriage of words and music.

Moving Forward

Written by James Green

You can feel quite blind
Groping in the dark
Beginning a new adventure
Not knowing where to start

Your friends like strangers
Your life is just a farce
Your main emotion is fear
Guidance seems sparse but…

Step by step
You travel
Not knowing when it ends
Unable to marvel
Seeing what’s around you
It all depends
On knowing where your journey
Ends

So much you don’t control
You think you’ll scream
Just keep moving forward
You reach the stream

It’s inspiration
That you have waited for
You walk just a couple more steps
You reach a door

Chorus

Here’s your destination
Unsure what you did
Realizing moving forward
It’s the only way to live
