from child’s play to this day -- I see before me
a pleasant surprise -- like a sunrise

though you’re troubled at times -- by life’s loaded questions,
don’t leave faith behind while you make up your mind

learning to live

so go on and live, tho just visiting here;
three, two, one go – you’re ready I know

seek and you’ll find the part that is yours
one step at a time, even when you must climb

ready, set, live

life’s no longer a game – so don’t let it cheat you
have no fear – you belong here

the places you’ll go -- when faith is your guide
more than pretend, there’s no end

when you’re learning to live

so go on and live, tho just visiting here;
three, two, one go – you’re ready I know
seek and you’ll find the part that is yours
one step at a time, even when you must climb

ready, set, live

be willing to risk when people go fishing,
wanting to know you

take a chance – run and dance
through the things that grow you

live like someone loves you – oh you know its true . . .

so live, tho just visiting here;
three, two, one go – you’re ready I know

seek and you’ll find the part that is yours
one step at a time, even when you must climb --

ready, set, live
