Here is another solo piece from me. Let me know what you think in the comments :) 

The Lyrics explain it all 

 One step at a time
 Don't try to move too fast
 Don't try to do too much
 Just make it last
 There's a light at the end
 If you keep it going
 Keep it moving to the promised land

Keep it moving
 One step at a time
 You can do this
 You're gonna be fine
 There's a light at the end
 If you keep it going
 Keep it moving to the promised land

 One step at a
 One step at a
 One step at a
One step at a
 One step at a
 One step at a time
One step at a
 One step at a
 One step at a
One step at a
 One step at a
 One step at a time

 It's not always easy
 To not slip back
 Into old habits
 Accepting a life that lacks
 The true essence
 Of what you desire
 But you got this
  O yeah
 That fire
 To

Keep it moving
 One step at a time
 You can do this
 You're gonna be fine
 There's a light at the end
 If you keep it going
 Keep it moving to the promised land

One step at a
 One step at a
 One step at a
One step at a
 One step at a
 One step at a time
One step at a
 One step at a
 One step at a
One step at a
 One step at a
 One step at a time


Don't underestimate yourself hmmmm
 There so much good waiting for you
 Don't tell yourself no
 Don't lose hope
 Just stop
 Pick one direction
 And go and

Keep it moving
 One step at a time
 You can do this
 You're gonna be fine
 There's a light at the end
 If you keep it going
 Keep it moving to the promised land

One step at a
 One step at a
 One step at a
One step at a
 One step at a
 One step at a time
One step at a
 One step at a
 One step at a
One step at a
 One step at a
 One step at a time

If I Wait (Long Enough...)

On My Mark

all lyrics by B. Brecht
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertolt_Brecht

I

Truly, I live in dark times!
The harmless word is foolish. An unfurrowed brow
Points to apathy. He who laughs
Has not yet heard
The terrible news.
What times are these, in which
A talk about trees is all but a crime
For it implies we say nothing about so many others.
He who goes quietly across the road,
Is surely no longer reachable for his friends
Who are in need?
It is true: I merely earn my keep
But, believe me: that is just a coincidence. Nothing
That I do gives me the right to eat my fill.
By chance I have been spared. (If my luck does not hold,
I am lost.)
They tell me: eat and drink! Be glad to be among the haves!
But how can I eat and drink when
I take what I eat from the starving and
Those who have died of thirst go without my glass of water?
And yet I eat and drink.
I would gladly also be wise.
In the old books is written what wisdom is:
To keep oneself out of the strife of the world
To live out the short time one has
Without fear
To dispense with violence
To repay evil with good –
The wise do not seek to satisfy their desires,
But to forget them.
Yet these things I cannot do:
Truly, I live in dark times!

II

Into the cities I came in a time of anarchy
As hunger reigned.
Among men I came in a time of turmoil
And I rose up with them.
And so passed
The time given to me on earth.
My food I ate amid the slaughter.
To sleep I laid down among the murderers.
I was wont to love with abandon
And I regarded nature with impatience.
And so passed
The time given to me on earth.
The streets led into the swamp in my time.
The tongue betrayed me to the slaughterers.
I was capable of little. But the rulers
Sat more confidently without me, that I hoped.
And so passed
The time given to me on earth.
The powers were limited.
The destination
Lay far off in the distance
It was distinctly visible, though for me
scarcely to be reached.
And so passed
The time given to me on earth.

III

You, who shall emerge from the flood
In which we have gone under,
Remember
When you speak of our weaknesses,
Also the dark time
That you have escaped.
Go forth we did, changing more often than our shoes our country
Through the wars of the classes, despairing
When there was only injustice and no revolt.
And yet we know:
Also the hatred of the reprehensible
Distorts the features.
Also the anger at injustice
Makes the voice grow hoarse. Oh we
Who wished to sow the seeds of brotherhood
Could not ourselves be brotherly.
But you, when at last the time comes
That man is a helper to his fellow man,
Remember us
With leniency.
