Three Steps Ahead
Gerald Hall
Three steps ahead
You only had one speed, that's what you said.
Always on the move, you lived your life
Halfway to tomorrow and always
Three steps ahead
You set the pace
Straight on through the thick, and the path we traced
Was forged by your courage, and the road
Was there for us to tread because you live your life
Three steps ahead.
Now every morning when I get up
I'm gonna wear your shoes and fill your coffee cup
And when the world is sour and the going gets tough
I'll try to live my life three steps ahead.
