Moving On
Embracing Change: Dissimilar South's Journey of Moving On
Lyrics
Morning's coming
Morning has arrived
The day is too, faster than you could run and
The day is progressing quickly, faster than one could run
Seems that we're still at odds
There's still conflict or disagreement
It's becoming clearer to me
Understanding the situation is becoming clearer
In different states it's harder to be sweet
In different locations, it's challenging to maintain warmth
When you're not sittin' next to me
Distance affects the sweetness when you're not physically together
But now you've got something to say
Someone has something to express
Go one say it, being right won't change things
Encouraging the person to speak, acknowledging that being right may not resolve things
But now you've got something to prove
The person now has something to prove
Go on prove it, but soon I'll be moving
Encouraging the person to prove themselves, but the speaker will be moving soon
I'll be moving, I'm a little too tired of having to prove things
Expressing weariness of constantly having to prove things
Only you can't see
Emphasizing that only the speaker can't see something
In this home and in this town
In the home and town, reminders of times when the person was present
Reminders of times when you were around
Reflecting on memories associated with the person
Hope the place isn't rotten to me now
Hoping that the place hasn't become negative or unwelcoming
But now you've got something to say
Someone has something to say
Go one say it, being right won't change things
Encouraging the person to speak, acknowledging that being right may not resolve things
But now you've got something to prove
The person now has something to prove
Go on prove it, but soon I'll be moving
Encouraging the person to prove themselves, but the speaker will be moving soon
I go outside to the porch swing to think a bit about pride
Going outside to the porch swing to contemplate pride
The heat is beatin' on me
Feeling the heat while thinking
Had some time for thinking how grudges in my family don't run thin
Reflecting on how grudges in the family are deep-seated
And if that could ever change
Contemplating if those grudges can ever change
But now you've got something to say
Someone has something to say
Go one say it, being right won't change things
Encouraging the person to speak, acknowledging that being right may not resolve things
But now you've got something to prove
The person now has something to prove
Go on prove it, but soon I'll be moving
Encouraging the person to prove themselves, but the speaker will be moving soon
