Moving On
Rusty Shackle feat. Remy Beasley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i will not question the road last travelled
i will not judge it's gravelled track
I say let lightning fork the trees
And light us on the unknown path
Who am I, who am I, who am I to be angry?
Who am I, who am I to be afraid?
Keep close to the one, keep us warm
With your hand on my shoulder I can carry on
It's just the little things my dear
The bramble, the songbird, your bones
I'm such a weary thing but I know in heaven you'll be singing
...and it keeps me... moving on!
There are some lessons in life worth knowing
To those who gave so others could learn You're gold and silver, you're my all
Carry you in my heart forever more
It's just the little things my dear
The bramble, the songbird, your bones
I'm such a weary thing but I know in heaven you'll be singing
...and it keeps me (oh yeah it keeps me)...moving on!
It's just the little things my dear
The bramble, the songbird, your bones




I'm such a weary thing but I know in heaven youl'll be singing
...and it keeps me (oh yeah it keeps me)...moving on!
