Текст песни: Stride by Stride + перевод

Make your mark and stand out on the street

while they measure you in feet

call you in and cut you loose to try another day

write as if a shadow of yourself

drink to goodluck and good health

then smoke a hundred cigarettes on top a Friday high

I don’t mind it all the same

and I never would complain

just set a steady walking pace and go

leave the shadows to themselves

they’ll dance upon the rocks and shells

we are not late for we have nowhere to go

The builder builds his building to a plan

then we all work there for the man

sit in offices, surrender what we could have been

until the day we’re useless to the cause

then we’re quietly shown the door

we’re not needed anymore just servants of the crown

And I, I am learning how to roll

Take my time less the time spent takes its toll

all my life I’ve been pushing along this road

Stride by Stride one step closer to my goal

The market leaves me wary of the world

the oyster wary of the pearl

the workman wary of the never ending jungle rise

As if to wish the winter well away

the sun is careful not to burn

It just waits there for its turn before the burning starts
