Take Another Step
by Mark Bishop

Album: Fields of Love

There's a little church... just down the road
from a little farm... where the tall corn grows.
And in the little church... on a Sunday morn
in a little pew sits... the farmer and his son.

What makes a man... have a change of heart?
When it's been so long... where does he start?
The congregation stands... you see it in his face.
He walks down the aisle while, they sing Amazing Grace.

Chorus
We take another step. We walk down the aisle.
We lose another day, but, gain another mile.
Soon the leaves will fall and all meanwhile...
We take another step. We take another step. We take another step.
We walk down the aisle.

Another shooting star... another harvest comes.
Yields enough to pay... the banker's note, then some.
A few seasons turn... a boy to a man.
Soon he meets a girl and, soon they're makin' plans.

Chorus
We take another step. We walk down the aisle.
We lose another day, but, gain another mile.
Soon the leaves will fall and all meanwhile...
We take another step. We take another step. We take another step.
We walk down the aisle.

On any other day... before the break of dawn
if you were passing by... the kitchen lights are on.
He didn't milk the cow... or see the morning sun.
A farmer doesn't get to choose... when his season's done.

So in the little church... on a winter's day
they march single file past, where the farmer lay.
And the farmer's son... in his Sunday best
takes out a locket chain and lays it on his fathers chest.

Chorus
We take another step. We walk down the aisle.
We lose another day, but, gain another mile.
Soon the leaves will fall and all meanwhile...
We take another step. We take another step. We take another step.
We walk down the aisle.
