Lyrics

Ooo-when I was a small boy
Well, I could see the magic in a day
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
I wish I'd been a minstrel
Just think of all the maidens I could call
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

I said hey, sister moonshine
Won't you send me a little sun
I said hey, sister moonshine
Who's a stranger to everyone

So, -make us all laugh-
Make us all cry
-Make us all give-
Make us all try
Give us a secret, show us the light
Well, strike up the music, light up the sky

Mmm-if I was a lion
Well, I could be the king off all the plains
Mmm-if is was an eagle
Well, maybe I could fly above the rains
Oh, fly above the pain
But, I know I'm only foolin'

I said hey, sister moonshine
Won't you send me a little sun
I said hey, sister moonshine
Who's a stranger to everyone

So, -make us all laugh-
Make us all cry
-Make us all give-
Make us all cry
I said hey, sister moonshine
I said hey, sister moonshine
I said hey, said hey
I said hey, I said hey sister moonshine
