Original Song: Moving
MOVING
© 2012 Chuck Smeeton
From the balcony we stood and watched
The waves that crashed upon the shore
Finishing their journey
Their energy no more
I shed a tear of disbelief
That this moment couldn’t last
What’s been the present for so long
Would now live in my past
Leaving everything behind
But it’s time to go, that I know
The contract has been signed
Packed away in every box
Memories that owned a place
Labels that don’t mean a thing
Destined for a new home base
I’ve packed before so many times
But it never feels that way
It’s always wrapped in pain
No matter what they say
And now I sit surrounded
By a life firmly contained
I wonder where I do belong
Unexplained and drained
