All in Stride Songtext
von Bumpin’ Uglies

Without the clouds in the sky
We wouldn′t care about the sun when it shines
The bad helps to define the good
The splinter is the cost of the wood
So take it all in stride
Take it all in stride
Take it all in stride
I aint been sober in a month cause I'm losing my conviction
At the end of a tunnel filled with all my bad decisions
I′m learning bad luck is the only kind I got
I've been burned, I've been fucked, it′s so much harder than I thought
If I′d just been born in Cali I'd already be a star
But I′m from the mid-Atlantic playing reggae in a bar
And I've been climbing up this hill so god damned long
The boy who wrote the lyrics aint the man singing the songs


Without the clouds in the sky
We wouldn′t care about the sun when it shines
The bad helps to define the good
The splinter is the cost of the wood
So take it all in stride
Take it all in stride
Take it all in stride

And every single night
I turn out the light
Close my eyes and the demons show their face
And remind me that I'm about to conclude another day
Short of where I want to be and with no clue how to get there
And failure is a scent that I′m destined to always wear
Please God if you exist, help me cause it aint fair
I'm shouldering a burden and it's more than I can bare
Take it all in stride
Take it all in stride
Take it all in stride


Don′t doubt the sun is behind the clouds
No matter what you think it outta be about
Go tell the one you can′t be without
That you want to take time to know her better
Don't doubt the clouds are temporary
Holding on to something that you wish you had plenty
But its bolted down to the concrete floor
You say you want less but I′m giving you more
Anyway I could say what you want me to say
I could recycle all the bullshit and become a cliché
I could take back all of my music and make everyone pay
I could do this, really do this, in a serious way
I wouldn't waste my time
Looking at the sky
When everything I love
Is down here on the ground, would you listen to the sound bumping ugly

Without the clouds in the sky
We wouldn′t care about the sun when it shines
The bad helps to define the good
The splinter is the cost of the wood
So take it all in stride
Take it all in stride
Take it all in stride
Take it all in stride
Take it all in stride
Take it all in stride
Take it all in stride
