Last night I had this strangest dream I sailed away to China, in a little rowboat to find ya And you said you had to get your laundry cleaned Didn't want no one to hold you, what does that mean? And you said... They're never gonna break my stride Nobody's gonna slow me down, oh no I got to keep on moving They're never gonna break my stride I'm running in a one touch ground, oh no I got to keep on moving You're on the road and now you pray it'll last The road beyond I was rocky But now you're feeling cocky You looked at me and you see your past Is that the reason why you're running so fast? And she said... Never let another girl like you whip me over Never let another girl like you drag me under If I need another girl like you I will tell her Never want another girl like you have to say - oh! They're never gonna break my stride Nobody's gonna slow me down, oh no I got to keep on moving They're never gonna break my stride I'm running in a one touch ground, oh no I got to keep on moving

Brief biography courtesy of Wikipedia
Matthew Wilder (born Matthew Weiner, January 24, 1953, in New York City) is an American musician best known for his 1983 Top 5 hit, "Break My Stride". Wilder was one-half of the Greenwich Village folk group Matthew & Peter in the 1970s. In 1978 he moved to Los Angeles and sang for television commercials, and as a backing singer for Rickie Lee Jones and Bette Midler. Wilder's debut album, I Don't Speak the Language (1983), reached number 49 on the Billboard chart, fueled by "Break My Stride", which reached number 5 on the singles chart. Wilder had some continued success with the single "The Kid's American" which entered the Billboard Top 40 in 1984 but the single failed to match the success of "Break My Stride". Wilder's second album, Bouncin' Off the Walls (1984), failed to gain much momentum - even with an innovative music video for the single Bouncin' Off the Walls and was subsequently deemed a commercial failure. Despite the collapse of his solo career, Wilder continued his career in the music industry as a songwriter and as a record producer for such acts as No Doubt, 702, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, and Joanna. He lent his singing voice to the character of Ling and was nominated for an Academy Award for Original Music Score (along with David Zippel and Jerry Goldsmith) for his work on the Disney film Mulan (1998). He has also recently done production work on Australian Singer-songwriter Mig Ayesa's self-titled album which was released in April 2007 and has helped with production on Hayden Panettiere's upcoming album; slated to be released May 8, 2007. For theatre, Wilder has once again paired with Zippel to provide the music and lyrics for Princesses, a musical comedy update of Frances Hodgson Burnett's novel A Little Princess. The production ran at the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle but has yet to open on Broadway.
