I wake up everyday thankful for the breath of life

Roof over my head and food on the table keeps me satisfied

Doesn't matter the pace so long we push, push on everyday

Because he withheld the water, my roots have grown deeper

Through the struggles I shall remain

Sometimes the gain comes with the pain

Sometimes your faith ya need to reclaim

You need to take it all in stride

The good lord will provide

Forthcomin are some better days

No matter the regress so long we make progress and keep our stride on

I said one step at a time, Imma be fine I keep my stride on

We stride on (stride on) we stride on (stride on)

Lord we keep on striding on

We stride on (stride on) we stride on (stride on)

Lord we keep on striding on

Life is not a sunny road there'll be many deviations

But no matter what the devil throws we shall overcome these tribulations

Cause every time we feel we're getting ahead and everything is falling in to place

That's when life comes around and hits ya, and hits ya in the face

Said mister dealer man could you take back what cha dealin'

Although we learn to survive come what may

I wouldn't mind another hand to play

No matter the regress so long we make progress and keep our stride on

I said one step at a time, we're gonna be fine we keep on stridin on

We stride on (stride on) we stride on (stride on)

Lord we keep on striding on

We stride on (stride on) we stride on (stride on)

Lord we keep on striding on

We stride on (stride on) we stride on (stride on)

Lord we keep on striding on

We stride on (stride on) we stride on (stride on)

Lord we keep on striding on

Cause everybody's got them highs and lows so don't kid yourself you're not alone

Because no matter what we see up on the net everybody takes them back steps

But keep on movin in a positive direction

Eventually you'll better your situation

We stride on

Lord we keep on striding on

We stride on (stride on) we stride on (stride on)

Lord we keep on striding on

We stride on (stride on) we stride on (stride on)

Lord we keep on striding on
