Make A Move

Make a Move
Make a Move
Make a Move
Make a Move
Make a Move
Make a Move

When you feel your heart is breaking
and your head is kind of aching

Make a Move
Make a Move
Make a Move

If there is no sunshine in your life anymore
you know that life ´s not a picnic
all these heard melodies are ringing in your ear
but remember those unheard are sweeter

Make a Move
Make a Move
Make a Move
Make a Move
Make a Move
Make a Move

When you feel your heart is breaking
and your head is kind of aching

Make a Move
Make a Move
Make a Move

But don't hesitate and take two steps at once
you know you're on slippery ground
Even if you think your mind is out of control
suddenly a new friend gives you a hand

Make a Move
Make a Move
Make a Move

When you feel your heart is breaking
and your head is kind of aching

Make a Move
Make a Move
Make a Move

Sometime when a cloudy sky weighs you down
no patches of blue in sight above you




like a little hedgehog on a street at night
Don't bristle your spines move on the other side
