Keep Movin' by Michael J. Burt

I gotta keep movin'
I said I gotta keep movin'
They wanna keep me back
Stop my progress
Kill my pride
Steal all I've got inside

I gotta keep movin'
Cause' one day I'm gonna be free
I said one day I'm gonna be free
The Lord's gonna come for me
That will be the day I leave

I gotta keep movin'
Cause' this world was meant for me
Meant for you
Built for us
And everyone else too

I gotta keep movin'
So I can get to the world
Cause' I'm not there now
I'm not even a man
I said I gotta keep movin'

I gotta keep movin'
It's time for us to settle down
Build a family
Two kids or three
Cause' this world was made for livin'
And I wanna live in it
With you

I gotta keep movin'
I said I gotta keep movin'
And one day I'll be free
Like the ones that died
So I could be
