From the recording Back Seat Window
"Move On" is an uplifting and encouraging song about finding the strength to leave yesterday behind and embrace the possibilities that lie ahead. At its heart, the song acknowledges that life is filled with disappointments, detours, and difficult goodbyes, but it also reminds listeners that remaining stuck in the past can prevent them from experiencing the joy and purpose waiting before them.
The message of "Move On" is one of resilience and renewal. It speaks to anyone who has struggled to let go of regret, fear, or painful memories. Rather than minimizing life's hardships, the song offers a gentle invitation to take the next step forward—even when the path isn't entirely clear. Its perspective is hopeful, emphasizing that growth often begins when we are willing to release what no longer serves us and trust that better days are still to come.
Lyrics
[Verse]
You stand like a lighthouse in a driving rain
Holding your ground through the hurt and pain
Worn out and wondering if hope's in sight
But dawn will arrive, you'll find the light
[Chorus]
'Cause when storms fill the sky
You learn you won't deny
You might sway, you might fall
Giving it your last all
From the ground, lift your eyes
Choose to let courage rise
Find your fire, move along
Brush it off, carry on
Then you move on, move on
[Verse]
Life's like a compass when the north won't show
A road through the mountains with no place to go
Hold to the moments before they're gone
And keep moving on, keep moving on
[Chorus]
'Cause when storms fill the sky
You learn you won't deny
You might sway, you might fall
Giving it your last all
From the ground, lift your eyes
Choose to let courage rise
Find your fire, move along
Brush it off, carry on
Then you move on (Then you move), move on, yeah
[Bridge]
Every time you press
Past the weight on your chest
One more piece of your heart
Finds a brand-new start, yeah
[Chorus - Harmony]
'Cause when storms fill the sky
You learn you won't deny
You might sway, you might fall
Giving it your last all
From the ground, lift your eyes
Choose to let courage rise
Find your fire, move along
Brush it off, carry on
Then you move on (Then you move on), (Then you move on) move on
Yeah baby
Woo hoo, woo hoo (Then you move on)
Then you Move on, (Then you move on) yeah yeah
