Stride

[00:24.64] This is the path that I follow
[00:25.86] Cause everything else has been leaving me hollow
[00:28.81] Crave a better tomorrow
[00:29.96] I've felt like I've lost it's a hard pill to swallow
[00:32.78] When they don't wanna see the good in you
[00:34.06] When this is all that you believe in and you see it through
[00:36.05] With everybody on the other side just peeking through
[00:38.03] It only makes you want to justify the way you speak your truth
[00:40.74] This is all I am
[00:41.90] A gap-toothed grin in a shell of a man
[00:43.88] Pulling past all the pretenses put in the plan
[00:45.74] Won't put it past them if people are pulling my hand
[00:48.79] In their own direction
[00:49.83] But my progression is by my discretion
[00:51.98] Trials and lessons never closed my path
[00:53.71] So I keep trying my best, they won't hold me back
[00:55.66] I learned to take it all in stride
[00:59.95] One day at a time
[01:03.76] So step by step I climb
[01:07.72] This path of mine
[01:12.06] So with the weight of the world on my shoulders
[01:16.13] And when my heart couldn't get much colder
[01:20.02] I won't let my fears control my happiness
[01:25.74] When I can only do my best to go on
[01:28.60] I'll try to stay strong
[01:30.80] And run forever
[01:32.01] I won't let these fears control my mind state
[01:35.92] And hold me back from finding my own way
[01:40.43] Am I seeing light while fleeing in the dark?
[01:42.39] Am I paralyzed? I can hear my beating heart
[01:44.28] Don't wait for the chance
[01:47.07] They won't give it to you if you stay
[01:48.55] So complacent but there has to be another way
[01:50.40] Know your circumstance
[01:53.53] Stay on the course
[01:54.34] if it pushes you down come back at it with force and
[01:56.96] Just take your time and climb it
[01:58.89] Know that always
[02:00.88] You'll stand growing
[02:02.60] Above it all
[02:05.89] And know that when it seems that your whole world is burning
[02:09.86] You'll find it in the fire to press on
[02:12.15] I learned to take it all in stride
[02:17.09] One day at a time
[02:20.79] So step by step I climb
[02:24.74] This path of mine
[02:29.11] So with the weight of the world on my shoulders
[02:33.36] And when my heart couldn't get much colder
[02:37.19] I won't let my fears control my happiness
[02:52.07] When every inch of this path tries to bury me alive
[02:56.29] I'll keep on moving forward one mountain at a time
[03:07.14] Step by step
[03:14.00] I take it step by step
[03:21.61] I take it step by step
[03:31.49] So with the weight of the world on my shoulders
[03:35.41] And when my heart couldn't get much colder
[03:39.32] I won't let my fears control my happiness
[03:44.90] When I can only do my best
[03:47.33] With every step I leave a light behind me
[03:51.35] You know I won't let the weight of the darkness bind me
[03:55.40] I'll step in stride until my legs collapse
[04:00.92] Now I can only do my best to go on
[04:03.82] I'll try to stay strong
[04:06.55] I'll press on
[04:08.52] Hold strong
[04:09.96] And run forever
[04:13.20]
