would you move the mountain

would you drink the sunshine

like a wilted flower

would you waste that hour

if you knew this full moon would be the last one you’d see

Dm
or would you gaze in wonder

while the world was turning

while the moon made quiet

all the years of yearning
Dm
would the flame keep burning
C F C G
if you knew the powers that be would set you free

swam around in circles

in the angry ocean

just a lost emotion

could a faded notion

make you find your way back to shore looking for more

Dm
so we head for safety

but we never get there

and i brush the shadows
Dm Am
from a scary nightmare
Dm
on the road to nowhere
C F C G
would you help me carry my cross and set me free
