Moving On

When the downbeat hits and the rest are full of it
I'm moving on
Got to build a new bridge because the rest are burning it
I'm pushing on
When the pressure adds up a lot more than encouragement
I'll take the lesser side
If you weigh the time you waste to procrastinate
You'll see your days have lost their stride

I'll go where they tell me not to go in a quick blink of an eye
They've been dragging me around with my face against the ground
Until my heart was bone dry

Well the word defeat means to me you've given in
And I'm moving on
Take those shackled feet and break the chains of innocence
And I'm pushing on
When the pressure adds up a lot more than encouragement
I'll take the lesser side
If you weigh the time you waste to procrastinate
You'll see your days have lost their stride

I'll go where they tell me not to go in a quick blink of an eye
They've been dragging me around with my face against the ground
Until my heart was bone dry
Now I'm back on my feet, upright and upbeat
And I'll have you know my friend
There's no slowing me down once I catch my momentum

I'm moving on
You know there's no dragging me down
I'm moving on
There's no stringing me around
I'm moving on
Because I'm back up on my feet
I'm moving on
Because I've got my own backbeat
I've got a stride that can't be beat
And I'll run with it as far as I can

When the downbeat hits and the rest are full of it
I'm moving on
Got to build a new bridge because the rest are burning it
I'm pushing on
When the pressure adds up a lot more than encouragement
I'll take the lesser side
If you weigh the time you waste to procrastinate
You'll see your days have lost their stride

I'll go where they tell me not to go in a quick blink of an eye
They've been dragging me around with my face against the ground
Until my heart was bone dry
Now I'm back on my feet, upright and upbeat
And I'll have you know my friend
There's no slowing me down once I catch my momentum
