Songs That Speak For Me: "I'm Moving On"

Tomorrow is our minature road trip (that's for you Snap!) to Raleigh to see one of my favorite bands: Rascal Flatts!!! I can't wait!!! Of course, in preparation for the event...I have being overloading on RF tunes. There is one song that has been special to me for years...it described very well the way I felt when I left home for college. It was frightening when I re-discovered it recently and realized that maybe it tells the story of my heart now more than ever as I prepare to finish school and move. It's amazing sometimes how music can be so powerful...every time I hear this song I just stop in my tracks and speak the words out loud. The good news in this song and in my life is that I "am not alone"...I have so many absolutely amazing friendships that even thousands of miles and even sometimes oceans have not been able to sever.

The lyrics to "I'm Moving On" are below...this is exactly how I feel.

"I'm Moving On"

I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons

Finally content with a past I regret

I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness

For once I'm at peace with myself

I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long

I'm movin' on

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces

Each one is different but they're always the same

They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it

They'll never allow me to change

But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong

I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on

At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me

And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone

There comes a time in everyone's life

When all you can see are the years passing by

And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't

Stopped to fill up on my way out of town

I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't

I had to lose everything to find out

Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road

I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
