Saw it in a dream A girl rides across her native land Running for her life On a painted horse as fast as she can I could tell that she was restless I could see she was afraid Only the Moon to guide her way Spirit of the moonrise Carry me home Spirit of the moonrise Riding alone She's a lonely child Longing for the one who left her side Lost out in the wild Knowing hungry wolves might hear her cry If only I could help her With a wave of my hand I’d promise her the Moon would never die Spirit of the moonrise Carry me home Spirit of the moonrise Riding alone See upcoming rock shows Get tickets for your favorite artists She rode beyond the mountains Through the valleys below Following her heart into the night Spirit of the moonrise Carry me home Spirit of the moonrise Spirit of the moonrise Carry me home Spirit of the moonrise Riding alone Riding alone Carry me home Spirit of the moonrise Ooh, spirit of the moonrise Spirit of the moonrise
