[Verse 1]
Over the mountains
Over the plains
I carried you always
My ball and chain
But I'm leaving you here
At the bend in the road
You see the summit that I'm gonna climb now
Ain't gonna reach it if I carry all this extra load
[Chorus]
With my hands free
And my head strong
I turn towards the sun
I guess you could say that we had our fun
But I think it's time, babe
I think it's time that I'm moving on
[Verse 2]
Over the oceans
Over the fields
I'm gonna fly like
A bird on a breeze
Gonna grow me some wings
Gonna soar through that sky
Gonna feel the wind on my skin
And not listen to you telling me that I should stay down
[Chorus]
With my hands free
And my head strong
I turn towards the sun
I guess you could say that we had our fun
But I think it's time, babe
I think it's time that I'm moving on
[Bridge]
'Cause you keep me small
You rein in me so hard
And I don't wanna listen to you, baby
I don't wanna hear you say that maybe
If I keep my head down low
'Cause I don't wanna keep my head down low no more
No more
No more
No more
[Chorus]
With my hands free
And my head strong
I turn towards the sun
I guess you could say that we had our fun
But I think it's time, babe
I think it's time that I'm moving on
[Refrain]
Move on
Move on
Move on
Move on
[Outro]
Over the mountains
Over the fields
I'm gonna fly
Like a bird on a breeze
