A Place In The Sun
Isaacs David Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
movin' on, movin' on.
Like a branch on a tree I keep reachin' to be free,
movin' on, movin' on.
'Cause there's a place in the sun where there's hope for ev'ry one,
where my poor restless heart's gotta run.
Theres' a place in the sun and before my life is done,
Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load,
movin' on, movin' on.
Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my birth,
movin' on, movin' on.
'Cause there's a place in the sun where there's hope for ev'ry one,
where my poor restless heart's gotta run.
Theres' a place in the sun and before my life is done,
Got to find me a place in the sun.
The lyrics to Isaacs David's song A Place In The Sun express the desire to find a better life, a place where hope exists for everyone.

However, the singer's determination to find this place, reflected in the repeated phrase "movin' on," suggests that the journey is worth it.
