Move Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm not about to give up
Because I heard You say
There's gonna be brighter days
There's gonna be brighter days

I won't stop, I'll keep my head up
No, I'm not here to stay
There's gonna be brighter days
There's gonna be brighter days

[Pre-Chorus]
I just might bend, but I won't break
As long as I can see Your face

[Chorus]
When life won't play along
And right keeps going wrong
And I can't seem to find my way
I know where I am found
So I won't let it drag me down
Oh, I'll keep dancin' anyway

[Post-Chorus]
I'm gonna move, move
I'm gonna move, move
I'm gonna move (I'm gonna move)
[Verse 2]
I've got to hold it steady
Keep my head in the game
Everything is about to change
Everything is about to change
This hurt is getting heavy
But I'm not about to cave

Everything is about to change
There's gonna be brighter days

[Pre-Chorus]
I just might bend, but I won't break
As long as I can see Your face

[Chorus]
When life won't play along
And right keeps going wrong
And I can't seem to find my way
I know where I am found
So I won't let it drag me down
Oh, I'll keep dancin' anyway

[Bridge]
(I'm gonna move) No matter what may come
Gotta move to a different drum
(To the move)
No matter what life brings, gotta move, gotta move to a different beat
No matter what may come
Gotta move to a different drum
No matter what life brings, gotta move, gotta move to a different beat

[Pre-Chorus]
I just might bend, but won't break
As long as I can see Your face

[Chorus]
When life won't play along
And right keeps going wrong
And I can't seem to find my way
I know where I am found
So I won't let it drag me down
Oh, I'll keep dancin' anyway
When life won't play along (No matter what may come)
And right keeps going wrong (Gotta move to a different drum)
And I can't seem to find my way (No matter what life brings, gotta move, gotta move to a different beat)
I know where I am found (No matter what may come)
So I won't let it drag me down (Gotta move to a different drum)
Oh, I'll keep dancin' anyway (No matter what life brings, gotta move, gotta move to a different beat)

[Outro]
I'm gonna move, move (No matter what may come)
I'm gonna move, move (Gotta move to a different drum)
I'm gonna move, move (No matter what life brings)
I'm gonna move, gonna move (Gotta move, gotta move to a different beat)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

No one wants to sit in the darkness and brood when things are not going right. This song, “Move” was written as an inspiration that you would do exactly that, move.

Move out of the dark mood you are under and into the light. King David had many a somber moment and he poured out his soul to the LORD in the Psalms that we now read in the Bible. The one thing that made David a man after the LORD’s heart was that he did not just sit and pout, he prayed and trusted, and when things really got bad (Saul or Absalom) he did not just sit around and wait … he moved.

I like this video presentation of “Move” because they are moving.
