Remember the race
between the tortoise and hare
Rabbit said the turtle
would never get there
But the turtle kept going,
step by step
and won while the rabbit slept

If you take just one step
You'll get closer, you'll get closer
If you take just one step
You'll get closer,
you'll get there. (repeat)

Every book in the library
starts with one word,

don't you see
and word by word
a book becomes your friend
you can read and
then read again.

Chorus

Some people I know,
they just can't agree
They argue and argue to infinity
but one word of kindness,
a word to the wise
can bring peace and a compromise

Chorus
