Life Moves On

Song Lyrics

Life Moves On

A bit rocky, and at a pace to reflect the theme: ever feel that life is just going too fast and you can't escape from it? In fact you get so wrapped up in it that you miss the one person who can set you free from the pace of life.

Life is moving faster than it’s ever moved before,

You’ve no sooner woken up than you’re heading out the door,

Life moves on, life moves on, life moves on, moves on.

People rushing round, leave you standing by yourself,

If you don’t cut any corners you’ll be left up on the shelf,

Life moves on, life moves on, life moves on, moves on.

Busy saving money, saving all you can get,

Then you throw it away, throw it away.

Your mother always told you, but you couldn’t have heard,

It’s not a rainy day, rainy day,

You’ve gotta keep on, gotta keep on, moving.

Thought you saw a friend ‘cos you recognised his face,

Can’t remember who it is, and his name you cannot place,

Life moves on, life moves on, life moves on, moves on.

That’s all been forgotten in the twinkling of an eye,

Living is a game, gotta play it or you die,

Life moves on, life moves on, life moves on, moves on.

Caught up in this crazy game, it’s driving you mad,

Got to find a way out, find a way out.

It’s like looking in a haystack when the needle isn’t there,

Makes you scream and shout, scream and shout,

You’ve gotta keep on, gotta keep on, moving.

There he is again in the middle of the street,

He’s looking straight at you, but your eyes will never meet,

Life moves on, life moves on, life moves on, moves on.

Moving much too fast won’t you ever slow right down,

Missing all your chances so no exit can be found,

Life moves on, life moves on, life moves on, moves on.

Life is really hopeless if you play it this way,

It’s not the rules of the game, rules of the game,

Stop and rest awhile and meet the author of life,

You must learn his name, learn his name,

It’s just a big con, don’t have to keep on, moving.
