They say a restless body can hide a peaceful soul.
 A voyager, ad 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         (la la la la la la-la)
Life is motion                     (la la la la la la-la)
Move on                            (la la la la-la)
Like a wind that's always blowing  (la la la la la la-la)
Life is flowing                    (la la la la la la-la)
Move on                            (la la la la-la)
Like the sunrise in the morning    (la la la la la la-la)
Life is dawning                    (la la la la la la-la)
Move on                            (la la la la-la)
How I treasure every minute        (la la la la)
Being part of it                   (la la la la)
Being in it                        (la la la la)
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         (la la la la la la-la)
Life is motion                     (la la la la la la-la)
Move on                            (la la la la-la)
Like a wind that's always blowing  (la la la la la la-la)
Life is flowing                    (la la la la la la-la)
Move on                            (la la la la-la)
Like the sunrise in the morning    (la la la la la la-la)
Life is dawning                    (la la la la la la-la)
Move on                            (la la la la-la)
How I treasure every minute        (la la la la)
Being part of it                   (la la la la-ah)
Being in it
With the urge to move on

La la la la la la-la, la la la la la la-la, la la la la-la
Like a wind that's always blowing
La la la la la la-la
La la la la la la-la               (life is flowing)
La la la la-la                     (move on)
Like the sunrise in the morning
La la la la la la-la
La la la la la la-la               (life is dawning)
La la la la-la                     (move on)
How I treasure every minute        (la la la la)
Being part of it                   (la la la la-ah)
Being in it
With the urge to move on
La la la la la la-la, la la la la la la-la, la la la la-la
Like a wind that's always blowing...
