Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song while driving to the funeral of a friend of a friend. My friend, Blake, passed away a month before his friend, Chris. I attended Chris' funeral on Blake's behalf. On the way, this song came to me. I recorded it into my cell phone on the side of the road. That afternoon, after the ceremony, the church we were in was struck by lightning. Take it In Stride!

Lyrics
In Stride
There seems to be much more to life
Much more than meets the eye
It scares me so yet on I go, I take it all in stride
And tears I've cried a thousand times
Tears that won't subside
It pains me so yet on I go, I take it all in stride
Step by step and beat by beat
That's the way I move my feet
And if anything should meet me by surprise I take it in stride
And love I've known a time or two
A love that leaves you blind
It hurts me so yet on, I go I take it all in stride.
Step by step and beat by beat
That's the way I move my feet
And if anything should meet me by surprise I take it in stride
Step by step and beat by beat
That's the way I move my feet
And if anything should meet me by surprise I take it in stride
