"One Foot In Front Of The Other" lyrics
The Cast of The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry & Passenger Lyrics
(from "The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry" soundtrack)
Well we all
Carry burdens from the past
Colored by the die that our parents cast
Haunted by the ghosts of what didn't last
We're all just trying to figure it out
We believe we're making choices of our own
But nothing that we do comes from us alone
We're just a new brick in a wall
Built of ancient stone
Pathways already laid out
Ain't nothing much to do about it
But put one foot in front of the other
And your heart on your sleeve
You've got to take a leap of faith
And find the courage to believe
There are times when you've got to take cover
Times when you've got to leave
Times you've got to walk
Until you find your feet
Harold, we've barely covered a mile today
Yesterday was even worse
You're right, you have to leave us all behind
Oh, put one foot in front of the other
And your heart on your sleeve
You've got to take a leap of faith
And find the courage to believe
There are times when you've got to take cover
Times when you've got to leave
Times you've got to walk
Until you find your feet
Goodbye, Harold Fry
Ah, one foot, in front of the-
Yes
I think I've got that now
Dad! Dad!
Look at me!
David!
Is that you?
Dad!
Where are you?!
*thunder*
What do you think
Dad, what goes on in that head of yours?
Fucking help me!
Where are you?!
*thunder*
The creme de la fucking creme
David!
*drum roll*
How do you think it was for me?
So fucking gifted and everyone agreed
Get him a drink at the bar, this kid's gonna go far
Lighting up the sky like a shooting star
He's gonna get his PhD
From Oxford or Cambridge University
And then he'll ignite in the night
Like a light just so bright
Soon the whole world will see!
Why did you build me up to watch me fall?
You lifted me up, to cut me down so small
Why didn't you help me when I was underneath it all
You just stood and stared and did nothing at all! *thunder*
Whenever I spoke, you didn't listen
Whatever I said, you didn't hear
Felt like something was missing
Never knew if you loved or you feared
Wandering out on this stroll
As if it somehow might fill up this hole
That you've ignored for so long
As if nothing was wrong
Now it's so strong that it's pulling you under!
David! *thunder*
David! *lightning crashes*
*sobbing*
One foot in front of another!
In front of another!
In front of another!
In front of a-
One foot in front of another!
In front of another!
In front of another!
In front of a-
Aaaa
Aaaa
Aaaa
