| Like a long lonely stream
 | 
| I keep runnin' towards a dream
 | 
| Movin' on, movin' on Like a branch on a tree
 | 
| I keep reachin' to be free
 | 
| Movin' on, movin' on
 | 
| 'Cause there’s a place in the sun
 | 
| Where there’s hope for ev’ryone
 | 
| Where my poor restless heart’s gotta run
 | 
| There’s a place in the sun
 | 
| And before my life is done
 | 
| Gotta find me a place in the sun
 | 
| Like an old dusty road
 | 
| I get weary from the load
 | 
| Movin' on, movin' on Like this tired troubled earth
 | 
| I’ve been rollin' since my birth
 | 
| Movin' on, movin' on There’s a place in the sun
 | 
| Where there’s hope for ev’ryone
 | 
| Where my poor restless heart’s gotta run
 | 
| There’s a place in the sun
 | 
| And before my life is done
 | 
| Gotta find me a place in the sun
 | 
| You know when times are bad
 | 
| And you’re feeling sad
 | 
| I want you to always remember
 | 
| Yes, there’s a place in the sun
 | 
| (Place in the sun, place in the sun)
 | 
| Where there’s hope for ev’ryone
 | 
| (Hope for ev’ryone, hope for ev’ryone)
 | 
| Where my poor restless heart’s gotta run
 | 
| (Poor restless heart, poor restless heart, run)
 | 
| I know, there’s a place in the sun
 | 
| (Place in the sun, place in the sun) |
