Lyrics

Movin'

I feel just like a kite

But one without a string

One that is floating around

I don't know what tomorrow will bring

I feel just like a bird

But one without a home

One that is floating over endless oceans

Empty horizons, no rest in sight

What does it mean

When you say you want to be free

Free to sing, free to dance

Free to let someone take a glance

In a world that's free of me

Then you say, then you say you're moving on

Then you say, "I got other plans"

Oh girl oh

You're moving in the wrong direction

Moving in the wrong direction, yeah

You're moving in the wrong direction

So far away from me

You're moving in the wrong direction

Moving in the wrong direction, yeah

You're moving in the wrong direction

So far away from me

Then you say you're moving on

Then you say you got other plans

Oh girl

You're moving in the wrong direction

Moving in the wrong direction, yeah

Lady, you're moving in the wrong direction

So far away from me

I wish my Momma was here

A strong, strong steady rose

She would know, what to do

What to say, how to pray

To make things better

What does it mean

When you say you want to be free

Free to sing, free to dance

Free to let someone take a glance

In a world that's free of me

You're moving in the wrong direction

Moving in the wrong direction

You're moving in the wrong direction

So far away from me

Well you're moving, well you're moving

Well you're moving, well you're moving away

So far away

So far away from me, oh

Well you're moving, well you're moving

Well you're moving, well you're moving

Well you're moving, well you're moving

Well you're moving, well you're moving, oh

Far away from me
