Many Moons

We're dancing free, but we're stuck here underground

And everybody trying to figure a way out

Hey, hey, hey, hey, all we ever wanted to say

Was chased erased and then thrown away

And day to day, we live in a daze

We march all around till the sun goes down, night children

(Night children in around)

Broken dreams, no sunshine, endless crimes, we long for freedom

For freedom (Your free)

You're free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind

Oh, make it rain, ain't a thing in the sky to fall

(The silver bullet's in your hand and the war's heating up)

And when the truth goes BANG, the shouts splatter out

(Revolutionize your lives and find a way out)

And when you're growing down instead of growing up

(You gotta, ooh, ah, ah, like a panther)

Tell me are you bold enough to reach for love?

(Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na) For love

He lived in sector ten

He had a friend named Benjamin

Sail away, sail away Susan

So strong for so long

All I wanna do is sing my simple song

Is it square or round, rich or poor?

At the end of day and night all we want is more

I keep my feet on solid ground

And use my wings when storms come around

(I use my wings when stones come around)

I keep my feet on solid ground (Freedom, freedom, freedom)

You're free but in your mind (Your freedom's in a bind)

Oh, make it rain, ain't a thing in the sky to fall

(The silver bullet's in your hand and the war's heating up)

And when the truth goes bang, the shouts splatter out

(Revolutionize your lives and you'll find, find a way out)

And when you're growing down instead of growing up

(You gotta, ooh, ah, ah, like a panther)

Ooh, baby, tell me are you bold enough to reach for love?

(Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na) For love

Your dirty lies, give my regards

And when the world just treats you wrong

Just come with me and I'll take you home

No need to pack a bag

Who put your life in the danger zone?

You running droppin' like a rollin' stone

No time to pack a bag

You just can't stop your hurt from hanging on

The old man dies and then a baby's born

Change, change, change, change your life

And when the world just treats you wrong

Just come with us and we'll take you home

Shan, shan, shan, shan-gri la

Na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na
