Song lyrics
Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?

dare you to move
dare you to move
dare you to lift yourself off up the floor
dare you to move
dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

dare you to move
dare you to move
dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
dare you to move
dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

dare you to move
dare you to move
dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
dare you to move
dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before

I agree 100 percent with Retro112 . This song is absoutly beautiful and it reminds me of my cousin who will be born late this January .. it's sort of a long story why but it's such a pretty song. I absoutly love it because i'm even listening to it right now!

I believe that this song begins at birth. The opening line welcomes the newborn, and then fastforwards you into the future where all eyes are upon you. whatever you decide to do carries some consequence, and you can't please everyone. so comes the challenge, "I dare you to move" the rest is academic.

OK. There are two videos for this song!

One, what I am calling the "official" video can be found on Switchfoots site. It shows them on a beach, flashing to different people and how they are waking up differently. The other video is of the guy running to something, while other people are running from something.

There, now you can get a better understanding on the song.

This is like the second single off the beautiful let down album in america now. how kool is that!? they have like 2 switchfoot songs in their top 40 and we have none =[
anyways. theres not one song on this album i dislike. i dont skip one song. they are all so amazing and the voice of the lead singer (as ive said) is like so strong and brilliant.
Dare You To Move is like more of a ballad-ish kinda song on the album, and i think this band could pull off just about any kinda song. never let down on ur lyrics, switchfoot. ur so amazingly kool

-It's about someone who is in denial of what he's suppose to do.He's just sittin on his ass all day doin nothing- and this song is daring him to be who he wants to be..
I think the song means whatever we want it to mean. Thats the beauty of music. To me, its just a great melody, it caught my attention after listening to it for the firsttime on my pirated compilation CD (sorry, music industry moguls!). Then all of a sudden it went ballistic on radio. And its like, ok, its cool to like it now. Anyways..rock on Switchfoot!

Hey so yeah...this song is most definitely fantastically cool..i fully dig it!
I do happen to believe its point is like salvation is here and we can be saved no matter what!!! God accepts us anyway we come!! when we've fallen and all we can run back to Him and like we shouldnt run with the crowd cuz wheres the crowd gonna get us!? anyways yeah that song is really cool though...very inspirational! ;-) i decided to write "salvation is here" on a bunch of strips of paper and hand em out at school and i hope it did some good...some people got mad that i gave em that..but i dunt mind id do anything for our Savior...He died for us!!! but yeah anyways yall folk claimin to be Christians STEP OUT and be a Christian!! Jesus is getting us to Heaven and we needa let EVERYONE know He's the ONLY way!!!! anyways yeah ok...youve got my prayers!!!
