Move On
Mandy Patinkin & Bernadette Peters Lyrics

Are you working on something new?
Have you started a new project lately?

No.
No, I haven't.

That is not like you, George.
George, you're usually creating something new.

I′ve nothing to say--
I don't have anything to offer at the moment.

You have many things
You have a lot of talents and abilities.

Well, nothing that's not been said--
However, you haven't done anything that's truly unique.

Said by you, though, George
Still, you have a distinctive voice and perspective, George.

I do not know where to go
I'm not sure what direction to take.

And nor did I
I had the same feeling too.

I want to make things that count,
I want to create something that truly matters.

Things that will be new...
Something that hasn't been seen before.

I did what I had to do...
But sometimes, we need to make tough decisions to move forward.

What am I to do?
I'm stuck and need guidance.

Move on...
Let go of the past and keep going.

Stop worrying where you′re going
Don't focus too hard on the destination.

Move on
Just keep going forward.

If you can know where you're going
If you know where you're heading,

You've gone
Then you've already arrived.

Just keep moving on
Don't stop and don't be afraid to progress.

I chose, and my world was shaken
I made a tough choice and it rattled me to my core.

So what?
But that's okay.

The choice may have been mistaken,
It's possible I made the wrong decision,

The choosing was not
But the fact that I made a choice is an achievement in itself.

You have to move on.
It's essential to keep advancing in life.

Look at what you want,
Focus on your goals.

Not at where you are,
Don't get bogged down in the present, look ahead.

Not at what you′ll be
And don't worry about how far you still have to go.

Look at all the things you′ve done for me
Reflect on all the help and insight you've given me.

Opened up my eyes,
Helped me see my life differently.

Taught me how to see,
You taught me how to approach life observantly and mindfully.

Notice every tree--
To appreciate the small things in life.

Understand the light--
To understand the nuances in life.

Concentrate on now--
To stay focused on the present moment.

I want to move on
I want to progress.

I want to explore the light
I want to comprehend the small details in life.

I want to know how to get through,
I'm eager to learn how to overcome obstacles.

Through to something new,
And achieve something fresh.

Something of my own
Something unique to me.

Stop worrying if your vision is new
Don't stress if your ideas are original enough.

Let others make that decision
It's up to the public to judge if something is new or not.

They usually do
And they will make their opinion known.

You keep moving on
But keep progressing anyway.

Look at what you've done / Something in the light,
Reflect on your achievements / Whether it's something new or small,

Then at what you want / Something in the sky,
Focus on your goals / Whether it seems impossible far away,

Not at where you are/ In the grass,
Don't get bogged down in your present situation / Whether it's mundane or difficult,

Where you′ll be / Up behind the trees...
Look forward to where you will ultimately arrive / Whether it's an unknown or intangible destination.

Look at all the things you gave to me / Things I hadn't looked at till now
Reflect on all the things I've learned from you / Whether they're brand new to me.

Let me give to you / Flower in your hat.
In return, let me offer something to you / Like a decorative accessory.

Something in return
Let me show you my appreciation.

And your smile
Your happiness and satisfaction.

I would be so pleased / And the color of your hair.
It would make me happy to see / Something as specific as your hair color.

And the way you catch the light
You radiate positivity and hope.

And the care
The empathy and compassion you show to others.

And the feeling
The emotional connections we share.

And the life
The vitality and richness we experience every day.

Moving on
Keep advancing and growing.

We've always belonged together!
We've always had a strong connection.

We will always belong together!
Our relationship transcends time and distance.

Just keep moving on.
Let's keep progressing and appreciating each other.

Anything you do
Whatever you want to create.

Let it come from you
Let it flow naturally from your heart and mind.

Then it will be new
Whatever comes from you will be unique and original.

Give us more to see...
Inspire us with your creativity and originality.
