Take the First Step

Take the First Step is a Sesame Street song sung in the movie Elmo in Grouchland, about how everything starts with a first step.

Lyrics
Plant: Elmo, get your chin up, Things could be worse.

You could have your feet stuck down in the earth.

But I don't see no roots growing from your toes.

Just two furry little feet and they're revving, revving, revving to go.

Animals: Take the first step and soon you will see.

Plant and Animals: Just how brave your heart can be.

Look on up to the sky.

Take that first step and kiss your fears goodbye.

(break)

Plant: Destiny is calling, so listen up, please.

And you can feel the rhythm down deep in your knees.

One foot, then the other. Your journey has begun.

Elmo, believe it, you're ready, ready, ready to run.

Animals: Take the first step.

Plant and Animals: And soon you will see.

Just how brave your heart can be.

Look on up to the sky.

Take that first step and kiss your fears goodbye.

Take the first step and soon you will see.

Just how brave your heart can be.

Look on up to the sky.

Take that first step.

Plant: Elmo, we believe in you. Take the first step. Animals: And kiss your fears goodbye.
