5 Move On

Written by: (B. Andersson / S. Anderson / B. Ulvaeus)

They say a restless body
can hide a peaceful soul
a voyager and a settler
they both have a distant goal
if I explore the heavens
or if I search inside
well it really doesn’t matter
as long as I
can tell myself
I’ve always tried

Like a roller in the ocean
life is motion
move on
like a wind that’s always blowing
life is flowing
move on
like the sunrise in the morning
life is dawning
move on
how I treasure every minute
being part of it
being in it
with the urge to move on

I’ve travelled every country
I’ve travelled in my mind
it seems we’re on a journey
a trip through space and time
and somewhere lies the answer
to all the questions why
what really makes the difference
between all dead
and living things,
the will to stay alive

Like a roller in the ocean
life is motion
move on
like a wind that’s always blowing
life is flowing
move on
like the sunrise in the morning
life is dawning
move on
how I treasure every minute
being part of it
being in it
with the urge to move on

The morning breeze that ripples
the surface of the sea
the crying of the seagulls
that hover over me
I see it and I hear it
but how can I explain
the wonder of the moment
to be alive
to feel the sun
that follows every rain

Like a roller in the ocean
life is motion
move on
like a wind that’s always blowing
life is flowing
move on
like the sunrise in the morning
life is dawning
move on
how I treasure every minute
being part of it
being in it
with the urge to move on
