Move On Lyrics
(Performed by Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters)

[Bernadette Peters:] Are you working on something new?

[Mandy Patinkin:] No

[Bernadette Peters:] That is not like you, George

[Mandy Patinkin:] I've nothing to say

[Bernadette Peters:] You have many things

[Mandy Patinkin:] Well, nothing that's not been said

[Bernadette Peters:] Said by you, though. George

[Mandy Patinkin:] I do not know where to go

[Bernadette Peters:] And nor did I

[Mandy Patinkin:] I want to make things that count, things that will be new...

[Bernadette Peters:] I did what I had to do...

[Mandy Patinkin:] What am I to do?

[Bernadette Peters:] Move on...

Stop worrying where you're going-
Move on
If you can know where you're going
You've gone
Just keep moving on

I chose, and my world was shaken-
So what?
The choice may have been mistaken,
The choosing was not
You have to move on

Look at what you want,
Not at where you are,
Not at what you'll be-
Look at all the things you've done for me

Opened up my eyes,
Taught me how to see,
Notice every tree-

[Mandy Patinkin:] Notice every tree...

[Bernadette Peters:] Understand the light-

[Mandy Patinkin:] ...Understand the light...

[Bernadette Peters:] Concentrate on now-

[Mandy Patinkin:]
I want to move on
I want to explore the light
I want to know how to get through,
Through to something new,
Something of my own-

[Both:] Move on, move on

[Bernadette Peters:]
Stop worrying it your vision
Is new
Let others make that decision-
They usually do
You keep moving on
