MOVING ON

we walked these streets together, now we walk these streets alone
we asked the man for justice, well he handed us a stone
in this great land of freedom we are taking up the slack
we pushed the stone to the top of the hill and we watch it rolling back

and the way to hell is straight and sure
the way to heaven is long
the way to your heart is never-ending
so I just keep moving on, moving on
the way to your heart is never-ending
so I just keep moving on

the brave are twisting in the wind, stupidity endures
and men with no identity will try to borrow yours
danger is the lure for boys to help you now and then
but they fall from the wire in a Bay of Pigs and they don't come round again

I never felt myself alone or truly felt afraid
until the hour I understood, by friends we were betrayed
whose precious mouths are stopped with food, who cannot meet our eyes
who laugh about their principles and brush them off like flies

and the way to hell is straight and sure the way to heaven is long the way to your heart is never-ending so I just keep moving on, moving on the way to your heart is never-ending so I just keep moving on
