A pastor’s son from Washington, Allen Stone blesses the stage with his performance of "A Bit of Both" in the Semifinals. LYRICS: If you look towards heaven on any given night You may see the stars glowing, shining ever bright Are they really shining or just burning in the sky Well, maybe they’re a little bit of both at the same time How come some days you’re living And other days it’s death How come everything worth giving Somehow always leaves a debt How come joy needs sorrow And reason don’t rhyme Until you’re horizontal Life ain’t a straight line Yeah, maybe we’re all a little bit of Everything combined Feeling like Superman but I don’t got no cape to fly Wanna push against the atmosphere and leave gravity defied But is it really flying or just falling redefined Maybe it could be a bit of both at the same time How come some days you’re living And other days it’s death How come everything worth giving Somehow always leaves a debt How come joy needs sorrow And reason don’t rhyme Until you’re horizontal Life ain’t a straight line Maybe we’re all a little bit of Everything combined Maybe we’re a little bit of both Everything withers after it grows Maybe we’re a little bit of both at the same time How come some days you’re living And other days it’s death How come everything we're given Somehow always leaves a debt How come joy needs sorrow And reason don’t rhyme Until you’re horizontal Life ain’t a straight line Maybe we’re all a little bit of Maybe we’re all a little bit of Maybe we’re all a little bit of Everything combined
