GIMP Question - how do I get the pointer back so I can move an object?

Been while since I used Gimp and I know this was a problem last time I used it and I can't remember how I got roudn it.

I have tried to Google the question and it is a commonly asked one but nobody seems to give an answer.

I just want to move an object on screen, for example some text from the bottom of the image to the top but I can't because I can't find a pointer tool as in Photoshop. Can anyone please help as it is doing my head in.
