Elusive moonbeams



There are times
We all need a friend
Someone with
A helping hand to lend

Because trouble finds us all
Live each day as if you are ten feet tall

So come now
And fly
That rainbow to your dreams
Answers
Are never far away
On the trail of elusive moonbeams

There are times
We all lose our way
In the midst
Of those head games we play

Only a gambler can see
The place you call home is your destiny

So come now
And fly
That rainbow to your dreams
Answers
Are never far away
On the trail of elusive moonbeams

There are times
We all look for change
In this world
Where people can be strange

After waiting for so long
You have found there is a reason to belong

So come now
And fly
That rainbow to your dreams
Answers
Are never far away
On the trail of elusive moonbeams
