Move
TobyMac Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another heartbreak day
Feels like you're miles away
Don't even need no shade
When your sun don't shine, shine

Too many passin' dreams
Roll by like limousines
It's hard to keep believin'
When they pass you by and by

I know your heart been broke again
I know your prayers ain't been answered yet
I know you're feeling like you got nothing left
Well, lift your head, it ain't over yet, ain't over yet so

Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
Move, keep walkin' until the mornin' comes
Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
And lift your head, it ain't over yet, ain't over yet

Echoin' inside your head
Are the words that your sweet momma said
"Shoot for the moon, my dear"
So you took aim out of this atmosphere
Between high stakes and pump fakes
You're feelin' like you can't buy a break
I can hold your hand, but I can't turn your eyes to freedom

I know your heart been broke again
I know your prayers ain't been answered yet
I know you're feeling like you got nothing left
Well, lift your head, it ain't over yet, ain't over yet so

Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
Move, keep walkin' until the mornin' comes
Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
And lift your head, it ain't over yet, ain't over yet

Hold on, hold on
Lord ain't finished yet
Hold on, hold on
He'll get you through this
Hold on, hold on
These are the promises
I never will forget
I never will forget, so

Hold on, hold on
The Lord ain't finished yet
Hold on, hold on
He'll get you through this
Hold on, hold on
These are the promises
I never will forget
I never will forget

I know your heart been broke again
I know your prayers ain't been answered yet
But it ain't over yet, it ain't over yet

So get up and move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
Move, keep walkin' until the mornin' comes
Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
And lift your head, it ain't over yet, ain't over yet

Lift up your head now, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
Lift up your head now keep walkin' until the mornin' comes




Keep believin' keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
And lift your head, it ain't over yet, it ain't over yet

'Callin on The name of Jesus'

I am alive cause I know that you’re here
I feel your presence throughout all the atmosphere
Through you I know things are looking up
You give me joy and peace you overflow my cup


When there is no place safe and no safe place to lay my head
I call your name you comfort me it’s through the word you said

And I’m calling on the name of Jesus
And I’m calling on the name of Jesus

And I won’t give up cause you don’t give up
And I won’t give up cause you don’t give up
And I won’t give up cause you don’t give up
And I won’t give up cause you don’t give up

HIS LOVE IS FINE AND I KNOW THAT HE’S NEAR
HE MADE A WAY FOR ALL OF US THAT IS CLEAR
I LOVE HIM SO FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR ME
HE FILLED MY SPIRIT, HE CAME TO SET US FREE

And I’m calling on the name of Jesus
And I’m calling on the name of Jesus

And the people cried and so many died without knowing the Saviour
He came here for us all he died to put us in his favor
He wants us all to be free for all eternity
He showed us all his love for us on the cross at Calvary

And I’m calling on the name of Jesus
And I’m calling on the name of Jesus
And I’m calling on the name of Jesus…..
