[00:00.00]Stride by Stride - Luke Thompson
[00:10.14]Make your mark and stand out on the street
[00:13.17]While they measure you in feet
[00:15.54]Call you in and cut you loose to try another day
[00:20.85]Write as if a shadow of yourself
[00:24.15]Drink to goodluck and good health
[00:26.23]Then smoke a hundred cigarettes on top a Friday high
[00:32.00]I don't mind it all the same
[00:34.45]And I never would complain
[00:36.71]Just set a steady walking pace and go
[00:41.83]Leave the shadows to themselves
[00:43.83]They'll dance upon the rocks and shells
[00:46.57]We are not late for we have nowhere to go
[00:56.10]The builder builds his building to a plan
[00:59.06]Then we all work there for the man
[01:01.56]Sit in offices  surrender what we could have been
[01:07.17]Until the day we're useless to the cause
[01:09.96]Then we're quietly shown the door
[01:12.31]We're not needed anymore just servants of the crown
[01:18.27]I don't mind it all the same
[01:20.79]And I never would complain
[01:22.87]Just set a steady walking pace and go
[01:28.06]Leave the shadows to themselves
[01:30.18]They'll dance upon the rocks and shells
[01:32.67]We are not late for we have nowhere to go
[01:37.63]And I  I am learning how to roll
[01:43.82]Take my time less the time spent takes its toll
[01:48.70]All my life I've been pushing along this road
[01:53.50]Stride by Stride one step closer to my goal
[02:18.76]The market leaves me wary of the world
[02:21.34]The oyster wary of the pearl
[02:24.00]The workman wary of the never ending jungle rise
[02:29.15]As if to wish the winter well away
[02:32.57]The sun is careful not to burn
[02:35.04]It just waits there for
[02:36.51]Its turn before the burning starts
[02:40.49]I don't mind it all the same
[02:42.90]And I never would complain
[02:45.28]Just set a steady walking pace and go
[02:50.33]Leave the shadows to themselves
[02:52.40]They'll dance upon the rocks and shells
[02:55.07]We are not late for we have nowhere to go
[03:02.59]And I  I am learning how to roll
[03:08.56]Take my time less the time spent takes its toll
[03:13.29]All my life I've been pushing along this road
[03:19.45]Stride by Stride one step closer to my goal
