I'm sitting in my bedroom Overlooking Findhorn Bay Cluny Hill inn the distance Summer on the way Blue skies and sailing boats Like a picture in a book I can't believe I got here Or how long it took Living one step at a time Putting one foot in front of the other It sure feels right Healing on my mind Been a long way Been a long way to the light I'd made it to Manhattan Built myself a nest I meant to get right back to doing Exactly what I do best Pluggin' in an electric guitar Leading a band Well, if you want to give God a laugh Tell him your plans! Summer in the city Wilting in the heat Buzzing up and down to Bearsville And back to Hudson Street I learned meditation And how to visualize Just breathing, being still Never felt more alive! Living one step at a time... I spent the fall in transit Circling the moon Like a cat on a hot tin roof Like a fiddle without a tune I found what I was searching for In Mrs Caddy's book I had to go there straightaway Have myself a look I flew back to Scotland Anticipation in my bones The old country welcoming me Like a prodigal coming home I knelt and kissed the tarmac In the wild Atlantic rain Felt the fiery Gaelic blood Rising in my veins Living one step at a time... I spent the night in Glasgow Flew to Inverness I found the place and at the first I was not impressed Nobody said hello The faces left me cold Back then how was I to know All that would unfold? I entered the Sanctuary Heard the voice of a girl Sending out a circle of light Clear across the world I shuddered in the Power Like a seedling in a storm I've been traveling to this place Since the moment I was born Flew back to New York City Singing the big city blues The sand of Findhorn Bay Still clingin' to my shoes I tried to re-start my life But the life I knew was gone I had to let go everything But that's another song! Living one step at a time... So I'm sitting in my bedroom Overlooking Findhorn Bay Cluny Hill in the distance Summer on the way I'm watching sailing boats Bobbing to and fro Time to hit the road The only way I know... Living one step at a time...
