Keep Moving Until You Stay


Keep moving. They'll push you down and they'll put up a fight. Keep moving. They'll leave you broken and beaten. Keep moving. They'll laugh at your dreams and feed your fears. Keep moving. Until you find the one. Then stay. When you find the one who picks you up and dusts you off. Then stay. When you find the one willing to stay and bandage your bruises. Then stay. When you find the one who will believe in your dreams and starve your fears. Then stay. When you find me, stay.
