I never thought life would be easy
   Take it from me it's not easy
   When you're living on your own
   And now I face it (and even now I take it)
   One day at a time (one step at a time)
  
   Then I try to rise
   Each time I fall
   Try to find a way
   Of getting through it all
  
   I used to believe in you
   Now I need someone else to turn to
   Any though it's only a matter of time
  
   That when you lose the magic
   Suddenly your world comes falling down
   All around you
   And though it seems so tragic
   Even when there's no one else around
   You hear the sound
   Of another world falling down
  
   Leaving your memories behind me
   Hoping that nothing reminds me
   Praying that I can forget
   And even now I take it
   One step at a time, and now I
  
   Face the future eye to eye
   I know it won't be easy, but I'll get by
