We’re gonna move, we’re gonna move To a brand new place, start a new groove We’re gonna leave all our troubles behind And leave all our worries behind
(Chorus) We’re gonna move, we’re gonna move To a place where the sun shines bright We’re gonna move, we’re gonna move Everything’s gonna be alright
We’re gonna build a new home, plant a new tree We’re gonna live happily, you and me We’re gonna make new friends, start a new life And live it to the fullest, without any strife
(Chorus) We’re gonna move, we’re gonna move To a place where the sun shines bright We’re gonna move, we’re gonna move Everything’s gonna be alright
