Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I'm not about to give up

Because I heard you say

There's gonna be brighter days

There's gonna be brighter days


I won't stop, I'll keep my head up

No, I'm not here to stay

There's gonna be brighter days

There's gonna be brighter days


I might just bend but I won't break

As long as I can see your face


When life won't play along

And right keeps going wrong

And I can't seem to find my way

I know where I am found

So I won't let it drag me down

Oh, I'll keep dancin' anyway


I'm gonna move (move)

I'm gonna move (move)

I'm gonna move (I'm gonna move)


Ive got to hold 'er steady

Keep my head in the game

Everything is about to change

Everything is about to change


This hurt is getting heavy

But I'm not about to cave

Everything is about to change

There's gonna be brighter days


I just might bend but I won't break

As long as I can see your face


When life won't play along

And right keeps going wrong

And I can't seem to find my way

I know where I am found

So I won't let it drag me down

Oh, I'll keep dancin' anyway


No matter what may come

Gotta move to a different drum

No matter what life brings

Gotta move gotta move to a different beat


No matter what may come

Gotta move to a different drum

No matter what life brings

Gotta move gotta move to a different beat


I just might bend but I won't break

As long as I can see your face


When life won't play along

And right keeps going wrong

And I can't seem to find my way

I know where I am found

So I won't let it drag me down

Oh, I'll keep dancin' anyway

When life won't play along

And right keeps going wrong

And I can't seem to find my way

I know where I am found

So I won't let it drag me down

Oh, I'll keep dancin' anyway

I'm gonna move, move

I'm gonna move, move
