"Man in the Moon"

Man in the moon

I ran past my home

To your shore

To melt the arctic beat

In my breast

Next to yours

It was just my fantasy

For a real world

What do you hear?

What is it we really share?

Do you know the depth

Of my need and my prayer

Or is it just my fantasy

For a new world

It's true

You'll see it, baby

There's a new world

Comin' through

Is it just fine for us to live

In a world that cannot give?

As for me I know I'm strong

And I belong

In a new world

You'll see

You'll see it, baby

There's a new world in me

If you want me

You'll find me in a new world

I want love, respect, and power

To make a new world

I wanna raise my babies

In a new world

Give them peace and happiness

You know you're the old world

And I'm the new world

It's true

You'll see it, baby—

The new world

Man in the moon
