Keep on Movin'
The Souls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Moving on
It's our time
Stay in my life
Oh oh why, do they choose to leave
This way
Oh oh yes
Keep on movin'
It's our time, time today
The right time is here to stay
Stay in my life, my life always
Yellow is the color of sun rays

I hide myself from no one
I know the time will surely come when
You'll be in my life, my life always
Yellow is the color of sun rays

(Keep on moving) don't stop
Keep on moving, don't stop no (Like the hands of time)
Keep on moving (click clock)
(Find your own way to stay) keep on moving
The time will come one day

keep on moving
Keep on moving, don't stop, no
Keep on moving
Keep on moving, don't stop, no
Keep on moving

I know the time, time today
Walking alone in my own way
Extremely cold and rainy day
Friends and I have fun along the way
Yes we do, yeah
I hide myself from no one
I know the time will really come when
You'll be in my life, my life always
Yellow is the color of sunrays

(Keep on moving) don't stop
Keep on moving, don't stop no (Like the hands of time)
Keep on moving (click clock)
(Find your own way to stay) keep on moving
The time will come one day

Keep on moving
Keep on moving, don't stop, no
Keep on moving

It will only get better.

Before there was Micheal Jackson, there was James Brown, before James Brown, it was Little Richard, you have singer's before and after Luther Vandross and may all these talented artist live in peace.

There will be great singer's after them.
Great singer's just don't make single hits, they make albums. And each album is a hit. From James Brown, Raye Charles, BB King, The For Tops, The Ojays, the Temption, The Manhattan, Stephanie Mills, Chaka Khan, Meli'sa Morgan, Ainta Baker, it's many more I can name. I luv the school because of the message.

You have good singer's who will become great singer's in time. But I can't relate to what they saying right now, some of these new singer's, are not like the old school.

Than you have a few that's great already like a Lala hathaway, Mary j. Blige, some people might say that's old school, true, however whatever the old is singing still have relevance to this day.

And these people look up t

This song empowers me that when I feel pressured I just keep focusing on God because yellow are the color of the sun rays. And I’m blessed to see them.

Amen

@baronessschraeder

"Yellow is the color of sun rays" is one of the best lyrics in this song. I wish we could all teleport back to these truly memorable times. Artists actually had talent and black culture was celebrated by all.
