Lyrics
Another heartbreak day
Feels like you're miles away
Don't even need no shade
When your sun don't shine, shine
Too many passin' dreams
Roll by like limousines
It's hard to keep believin'
When they pass you by and by
I know your heart been broke again
I know your prayers ain't been answered yet
I know you're feeling like you got nothing left
Well, lift your head, it ain't over yet, ain't over yet so
Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
Move, keep walkin' until the mornin' comes
Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
And lift your head, it ain't over yet, ain't over yet
Echoin' inside your head
Are the words that your sweet momma said,
"shoot for the moon, my dear"
So you took aim out of this atmosphere
Between high stakes and pump fakes
You're feelin' like you can't buy a break
I can hold your hand, but I can't turn your eyes to freedom
I know your heart been broke again
I know your prayers ain't been answered yet
I know you're feeling like you got nothing left
Well, lift your head, it ain't over yet, ain't over yet so
Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
Move, keep walkin' until the mornin' comes
Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
And lift your head, it ain't over yet, ain't over yet
Hold on, hold on
Lord ain't finished yet
Hold on, hold on
He'll get you through this
Hold on, hold on
These are the promises
I never will forget
I never will forget x2
I know your heart been broke again
I know your prayers ain't been answered yet
it ain't over yet, ain't over yet so
Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
Move, keep walkin' until the mornin' comes
Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
And lift your head, it ain't over yet, ain't over yet..

Meaning & Inspiration
Move speaks to discouragement with the urgency of someone refusing to let despair have the final word. Heartbreak, delayed answers to prayer, and dreams that seem to pass by are treated honestly, but none is presented as permanent. The repeated command to keep walking gives perseverance a physical rhythm, turning endurance into the central response to disappointment. Morning becomes the expected end of darkness, and the lifted head signals hope before circumstances have visibly changed.
The bridge places that hope in the unfinished work of God rather than in optimism alone. Its assurance that the Lord will carry a struggling person through hardship recalls biblical calls not to grow weary while doing good. The soldier image also suggests disciplined faith: progress may be slow, yet continuing still matters. By pairing compassion for a broken heart with confidence in divine faithfulness, the song offers Christian encouragement for periods when prayers appear unanswered and strength feels nearly exhausted.
