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
