Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, when I was a small boy
Well, I could see the magic in a day
Oh, but now I'm just a poor boy
Well maybe it's the price you have to pay
If you lock your dreams away
If no one wants to listen, what's the story?
[Verse 2]
I wish I'd been a minstrel
Just think of all the maidens I'd recall
Oh, I wish I'd been a gypsy
Then maybe I could read the crystal ball
'Cause surrounded by these walls
Just makes me feel uneasy
[Verse 3]
I said, "Hey, Sister Moonshine,
Won't you send me a little sun?"
I said, "Hey, Sister Moonshine,
I'm a stranger to everyone."
[Verse 4]
So make us all laugh, make us all cry
Make us all give, make us all try
Give us the secret, show us the lie
We'll strike up the music and light up the sky
[Verse 5]
Oh, if I was a lion
Well, I could be the king of all the plain
Oh, and if I was an eagle
Well, maybe I could fly above the rain
Oh, fly above the pain
But I know I'm only foolin'
[Verse 6]
I said, "Hey, Sister Moonshine,
Won't you send me a little sun?"
I said, "Hey, Sister Moonshine,
I'm a stranger to everyone."
[Verse 7]
So make us all laugh, make us all cry
Make us all give, make us all try
Well, give us the secret, show us the lie
We'll strike up the music and light up the sky
[Verse 8]
I said, "Hey, Sister Moonshine,"
I said, "Hey, Sister Moonshine,"
I said, "Hey, Sister Moonshine,"
I said, "Hey," I said "Hey, Sister Moonshine,"
