Keep Moving

Agnes Cunningham

[Verse 1]
How can you keep on moving unless you migrate too
They tell you to keep on moving but migrate, you must not do
The only reason for moving and the reason why I roam
Is to go to a new location and find myself a home

[Verse 2]
I can't go back to the homestead, the shack no longer stands
They said I wasn't needed, had no claim to the land
They said, "You better get moving, it's the only thing for you"
But how can you keep moving unless you migrate too?

[Verse 3]
Now if you pitch your little tent along the broad highway
The Board of Sanitation says, "Sorry, you can't stay"
Move on, move on, get moving it's their everlasting cry
Can't stay, can't go back, can't migrate, so where the heck am I?

[Verse 4]
I cannot stand the miseries that follow me as I roam
Unless I'm looking forward to a place I can call home
So I think I'll round up all the folks and see what we can do
'Cause how can you keep moving unless you migrate too?
