Looking back when she was just a young and lonely child
Impressionable, had curiosity for miles
Someone told her that the dream she had would never be
And now she's growing up, turning into me
Tried to tell her because of the colour of her hair
She would never get to Broadway if she went there
Tried to shield her underneath the veil of love
But sometimes you gotta learn even when it's tough
Keep your stride
Keep that fire alive
Keep your stride
Wipe that mud from your eyes
Keep your stride
Forget your pride
Keep your stride
Keep your stride massive
Wo-oh, yeah, yeah-ah
Wo-o-oh
Wo-o-oh
Wo-o-oh
Wo-o-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Wo-o-o-oh, yeah
The way she says the letter S may seem a bit strange to you
Or the features of her face don't match what you're used to
Maybe you've been blinded by what you see on TV
On the quest for pleasure instead of beauty
People try to fit you in their cookie cutter squares
Then they get confused when you refuse to live in there
If you come to know the person you've been called to be
Show them with your love
It'll set you free
Keep your stride
Keep that fire alive
Keep your stride
Wipe that mud from your eyes
Keep your stride
Forget your pride
Keep your stride
Keep your stride massive
Wo-oh, yeah yeah
Ho-o-oh
Ho-o-oh
Wo-o-oh
Wo-o-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Ho-o-woh, oh o-o-we-oh
Keep your stride
Keep that fire alive
Keep your stride
Wipe that mud from your eyes
Keep your stride
Forget your pride
Keep your stride
Keep your stride massive

Some people, they drive a fancy car
They take it everywhere even when they’re not going far
And some people think that cashflow is having it all
But when the chips are down, babe
Will they still be standing tall?
And some people, they wanna buy a great piece of land
They want a million dollars
For a castle in the sand
And some people really just can’t put down their phones
They take them everywhere, not knowing how to be alone, but
I want you for you (you’re already extraordinary)
I want you for you (you’re already extraordinary)
I want you for you (you’re already extraordinary)
I want you for you
Some people let their 9-to-5 tell them how to live their life
Now, I know we all gotta work to avoid the pain and strife
Some people think they always have to do, do, do
They think they’re only worthy of a life that they can prove, but
I want you for you (you’re already extraordinary)
I want you for you (you’re already extraordinary)
I want you for you (you’re already extraordinary)
I want you for you
Give me your everyday ordinary story
You’re already extraordinary
Give me your everyday ordinary story
You’re already extraordinary
Give me your everyday ordinary story
You’re already extraordinary
Give me your everyday ordinary story
You’re already extraordinary
Give me your everyday ordinary story
You’re already extraordinary
Give me your everyday ordinary story
You’re already extraordinary
Give me your everyday ordinary story
You’re already extraordinary
Give me your everyday ordinary story
You’re already extraordinary

I’ve got anxiety when it comes to society
I’ve got things to say and people walk away
I’ve got time to spend, I’ve got ways to end the pain
But it would be so much easier if with me you would remain
Long distance making me insane
Call you on the phone when you’re not there
Hard to even know if you still care
Are you on the other side of the world
Who am I, just your transcontinental crush?
On the road again, when I’ll see you I don’t know when
Say that you’re in town, you think I’ll come around
But when you’re away, well, there ain’t no reason to stay
But not much longer can I play this temporary game
Long distance making me insane
Call you on the phone when you’re not there
Hard to even know if you still care
Are you on the other side of the world
Who am I, just your transcontinental girl?
On the road again, when I’ll see you I don’t know when
Say that you’re in town, you think I’ll come around
But when you’re away, well, there ain’t no reason to stay
But not much longer can I play this temporary game
Long distance making me insane
Call you on the phone when you’re not there
Hard to even know if you still care
Are you on the other side of the world
Who am I, just your transcontinental girl?

Let's go back in time
When seeing your ID on mine
Made me crazy
Ooh baby I'm saying
Let's go back there (go back there)
Let's take it there (take it there)
I'm talking bout
Back in time
When you wanted to know my every move
Tired to keep it smooth
Keepin' up with me
You drove me crazy ohh baby
Let's go back there (go back there)
Let's take it there (take it there)
When you
Didn't know me
Didn't need me
I wanted to touch me
Couldn't leave me
I couldn't know how
Far this would go
I couldn't know if
This was for sure
We just could not
We just could not get enough of it baby, let's go
Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That off the wall won't stop 'til I get enough kind of love
I need that love
So baby, let's go
Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That I don't really care
We can have it anywhere
Kind of love
That wreckless love
Let's go back in time
When our kiss was brand new
An adventure not perfected
A little hesitant
Let's go back there (go back there)
Let's take it there (take it there)
Oh, baby now
Take it back in time
When forever was a minute, and eternity was a second
I'm stressing that we have to go back there (go back there)
Let's take it there (take it there)
When you
Didn't know me
Didn't need me
I wanted to touch me
Couldn't leave me
I couldn't know how
Far this would go
I couldn't know if
This was for sure
We just could not
We just could not get enough of it baby, let's go
Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That off the wall won't stop 'til I get enough kind of love
I need that love
So baby, let's go
Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That I don't really care
We can have it anywhere
Kind of love
That wreckless love
Ooh baby, let's go
Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That off the wall won't stop 'til I get enough kind of love
I need that love
So baby, let's go
Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That I don't really care
We can have it anywhere
Kind of love
That wreckless love

O Lord
It's gonna be another one of those nights again
When I'm wide awake and blue
And I don't know if You can help me
But if You can, tell me what to do
Beauty is a wound
And she cut him too soon
I'm spending my time wasting love on you
She pretends to care, but she's not really there
Her heart is in the other room
She may be crying
And he may be dying to ask her what he should do
I'm sure you're sleeping
But I'm still awake and weeping all my love out for you
Beauty is a wound
And she cut him too soon
I'm spending my time wasting love on you
She pretends to care, but she's not really there
Her heart is in the other room
Bet you didn't know a heartache could hurt so bad
Bet you didn't know her smile could make him so sad
She's oblivious and he's meticulously mad
Who said love's supposed to make you glad?
Beauty is a wound
And she cut him too soon
I'm spending my time wasting love on you
She pretends to care, but she's not really there
Her heart is in the other room
Beauty is a wound
And she cut him too soon
I'm spending my time wasting love on you
She pretends to care, but she's not really there
Her heart is in the other room
Are you there?
Do you care?
Are you really there?
Do you care?
Are you there?
Do you care?
Are you really there?
Do you care?
Are you there?
Do you care?
Are you really there?
Do you care?
Are you really there?
Do you really care?
Are you really there?
Do you care?

I'm so happy to have captured this memorable summer's evening with you. I can still see that sunset, the one you chose to miss so that we could play an encore. Thank you to every soul who was there in body and spirit.
In love,
Kristin
