"The Motions" is a song by contemporary Christian singer-songwriter Matthew West from his third studio album, Something to Say. It was released in January 2009 as the album's third single. It reached No. 1 on Christian adult contemporary radio in April 2009. The single was certified Platinum by RIAA.
The song is about complacency and a desire to "break free from the average, ordinary, lukewarm Christian life",[1][2] and was inspired by a June 2007 column that West wrote for CCM Magazine.
The song appeared in the compilation album WOW Hits 2010.
