This is a song to encourage whoever takes the risk of changing, to lift the spirit without fear of taking new paths while following a dream, because no matter where you go, you'll always carry the energy of the ones you loved and loved you, and that love will keep  you strong to move on, always, always. It is about living the beauty of overcoming time and space, when retaining the magic of the inseparable soul-brothers and sisters you meet on your way, even if the ground is shaking. I wrote the lyrics in the Chilean desert, along my journey when leaving Aotearoa and coming back to Colombia... now reworded and tuned, with an amazing musical power, full of strength and aroha, by Matiu Te Huki.

MOVING ON

Keep on moving on and on yeah,  
keep on grooving more and more yeah 
Keep on moving on and on, yeah, 
you're not alone, you're not alone, yeah x2 
 
Building up, shining down 
Slowly moving around and around yeah.
Breathing in, breathing out, 
Let it go, let it flow 
 
Closing my eyes to see deep inside 
No time for regrets, there’s no going back no 
Getting lost in non-spoken words 
Life unfolds as we dive in and we move on 
 
Why to complain, pointing it to someone the blame,
It’s right within you, that’s where the answers lie  
Come here and play, 
bring your drums and create 
Lets bring the magic of the people together, yeah 
 
Building up, shining on 
Slowly moving around and around, yeah. 
Breathing in, breathing out, 
Let it go, let it flow 
 
Life is a bursting seed, 
a bone-fire on the sea yeah 
A sunset on the shore, 
a blank canvas to draw on 
Life is the words that you say 
from your heart yeah 
go on and create a brand new start 
 
No need to judge or hurt one another 
keep in mind your sisters and brothers 
step aside from your pride  
and get out of your mind yeah 
dance and pray yeah, live and play yeah 
to help us bring about  change 
 
Building up, shining on 
Slowly moving around and around yeah.
Breathing in, breathing out,  
Let it go, let it flow 
 
Keep on moving on and on yeah,  
keep on grooving more and more yeah 
Keep on moving on and on, yeah, 
you're not alone, you're not alone, yeah x2 
 
Life is a bursting seed, 
a bone-fire on the sea yeah 
A sunset on the shore, 
a blank canvas to draw on 
Life is the words that you say 
from your heart yeah 
go on and create a brand new start 
 
Keep on moving on and on yeah,  
keep on grooving more and more yeah 
Keep on moving on and on, yeah, 
you're not alone, you're not alone, yeah x2 
  
Keep on moving on and on yeah,  
keep on grooving more and more yeah 
Keep on moving on and on, yeah, 
you're not alone, you're not alone, yeah x2 

Lyrics by Natalia Pardo 2013@

Moving On

This is a waiata created by Nga Tamariki o Ohakune in 2013, together with their whaea Korty Wilson, my soul-brother Matiu Te Huki, my soul-sister Erica Lattughi and myself. This is a journey of weaving knowledge between Matauranga Maori and Earth Sciences on Matua Te Mana, Te whare toka o Paerangi, Mt Ruapehu
