Moving On
Howard Moss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Far away from the town I belong
I've packed by bags and I'm out the door
No point talking as I've heard it before
Then down the road, as I she'd a smile
Freedom calling once in awhile
The sun is out and my mind is clear
On down the road, far away from here
Now that it's all become finally all clear
Far away from the town we know
A brand new scene and some different clothes
Time to catch a few new styles
Time to go for the extra mile
On down the road, far away from here
Now that it's all become finally all clear
Then down the road, as I she'd a tear
Thinking clearer and I'm walking on air
The sun comes out for a short while
It's my call out to the wild
Now I'm there and the sun is bright
The sand is warm and I see the light
I feel so glad that I made this choice
Sound of the sea is such a lovely noise
On down the road, far away from here
Now that it's all become finally all clear
Time to see things a different way
My faith grows stronger day by day
Howard Moss's "Moving On" tells the story of someone who knows it's time to leave the place where they belong and move on to new experiences. The singer has packed their bags, ready to go out the door, and knows there's no point in talking to people who have tried to convince them to stay before. As they hit the road, they feel a sense of freedom and enjoy the newfound atmosphere, grateful for the chance to soak it all in. They're in a brand new scene, wearing different clothes, and ready to catch new styles and go the extra mile.
As they move further down the road, they shed a tear but ultimately feel more clear-headed and able to walk on air. The sun is out, making everything seem brighter, and the singer feels more alive than they did before. Finally, when they arrive at their destination, they feel grateful for making the choice to move on. They see the light, feel the warmth of the sand, and rejoice at the lovely sound of the sea. It's a reminder to look at things in a different way, allowing faith to grow stronger day by day.
