You Cannot Move On
By 
Phillip Hennessy
 You cannot move on,  
without letting go 
You won’t move along,  
with your Past still on show 
Take what you want,  
or leave it behind 
For what lies ahead,  
is all in your mind 
When it’s out of your head,  
and into your Life 
Then the past is all dead,  
and you come Alive 
Each step that you take  
is another step closer 
There is no mistake,  
it’s time to say “NO, sir!” 
When you’ve made up your mind,  
and your vision is clear, 
Don’t be cruel, just be kind,  
your mission is Here! 
We’re all moving on,  
alongside of you 
For those left behind  
are beside you, too 
You could not share  
your heart with them 
because you care, 
you're part of them 
So focus on Love,  
and that’s what you get 
It’s time to move on,  
it’s time to forget 
Forgotten Heroes  
and ill-gotten zeros 
Are no use to you,  
when you’re sayin' “Cheerio” 
Look straight ahead,  
with a smile on your face 
‘cause you’re being led  
to a different place.  
It’s time to move on,  
it’s time to forget 
All that you think 
is All that you get.
