I'm Movin' On

Never before have I felt so strongly about a song. This song just brings me to tears. This song says all the things I have been unable to face, unable to say. 5 years of my life have passed me by and I have lost so damned much. I have been trapped in the past for too long. I cannot live like this anymore. I refuse to. This is MY life and I am going to live it.

Today is Beltaine, May Day. It is a time of reawakening, of the renewal of the lifeforce, of creativity, of rebirth, of love and sexuality, of birth and regeneration. Beltaine is a fire feast, and where there is fire, there is also passion. It is time for me to search for the fire in life. I yearn for the fire, the passion. For too long my life has been cold. As I arise from the ashes as the mythical Phoenix, I am reborn.

Here's to new beginnings, new hopes, new dreams.




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 guarentees, 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
