Little by little, and one by one,
The greatest deeds in the world are done!
Moment by moment, the longest day
Goes drifting by in its tireless way.
Slowly, slowly, as the time goes by,
Surely, surely, as the moments fly,
Little by little, come what may,
Get started making your mark today!

Little by little, and bit by bit,
We store up knowledge, or fame, or wit.
Moment by moment, the sun appears
To build the span of the countless years.
Slowly, slowly, as the time goes by,
Surely, surely, as the moments fly,
Little by little, come what may,
Get started making your mark today!

Little by little, and day by day,
We learn life's lessons along the way.
Moment by moment, a word unknown
In time, into a new song has grown.
Slowly, slowly, as the time goes by,
Surely, surely, as the moments fly,
Little by little, come what may,
Get started making your mark today!
