Lyrics:

I'm the restless child
Of the underground
And I met a lot of people
Tryin' to keep me down

Oh, step by step
Your love is gonna lift me
Step by step, higher and higher
Step by step
Your love is gonna life me, higher

Lift me up, higher and higher
Lift me up off of my knees
Lift me up, higher and higher
Lift me up I'm begging you please

Down so long like the underdog
Oh no, no but you'll never
Never find me in the L.A. fog

I say step by step
Your love is gonna lift me
Step by step, higher and higher
Step by step
Your love is gonna lift me, higher

Lift me up, higher and higher
Lift me up off of my knees
Lift me up, higher and higher
Lift me up I'm begging you please

Oh, step by step
Your love is gonna lift me
Step by step, higher and higher
Step by step
Your love is gonna lift me, higher
