Many Moons

Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, voo-doo-doo-doo

Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, voo-doo-doo-doo

Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, voo-doo-doo-doo

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

(Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)

And everybody trying to figure they way out

(Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)

Heh-heh-heh-hey, all we ever wanted to say

Was chased, erased, and then blown away

And day-to-day we live in a daze

We march all around till the sun goes down (night children)

Night children hid around (night children)

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

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

Oh make it rain, ain't a thing and it's gonna 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 oo 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 na)

He lived in Sector 10

He had a friend named Benjamin

Sail away, sail away Suzanne

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, I use my wings when storms come around)

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

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

Oh make it rain, ain't a thing and it's gotta 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 oo 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-na)

Dirty lies, 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

(Just treat you)

(Just treat you wrong)

Who put your life in the danger zone?

You running dropping like a rolling stone

No time to pack a bag

You just can't stop your heart from hanging on

The old man dies and then a baby's born

Chan-chan-chan-change your life

And when the world just treats you wrong

Just come with us and we'll take you home
