Like a long lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream,
Movin' on, movin' on.
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reachin' to be free, to be free, to be free

Cause there's a place in the sun where there's hope for every one,
where my poor restless heart's gotta run.
There's a place in the sun and before my life is done,
Got to find me a place in the sun.

Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load,
Movin' on, movin' on.
Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my birth,
Movin' on, movin' on.

Cause there's a place in the sun where there's hope for every one,
where my poor restless heart's gotta run.
There's a place in the sun and before my life is done,
Got to find me a place in the sun.
