Gonna Move

When I was a little girl I felt so alone

Quiet country house that I had to call home

Living with a couple of foulks, rich millionaires

Sat on their money Lord it seemed they didn't care

Finally we moved to our own place

Where I could walk around with a smile on my face

And I knew in order to make a stand

I had to pull up my roots and move on in this land

I'm gonna move away from here

You can find me if you want to go there

I'm gonna move away from here

You can find me if you want to go there

Came to a school in the big city

Looked around at the lights and I thought they were

pretty

They told me and teached me to live by their rules

So I wouldn't be nobody's fool

I found out, not too long

Their rules wouldn't let me sing my song

I know in order to make a stand

I had to pull up my roots and move on in this land

I'm gonna move...

I'm gonna move...

Then I joined the college ranks

There they said they'd teach me how to think

Gave me books to read and papers to write

They didn't know that this girl's come to fight

But I found out after a while

Reading those books was making me lose my smile

And I knew in order to not conceal

I had to play music and express what I feel

I'm gonna move...

I'm gonna move...
