The Mellow Light of the Moon
The charm of a soft summers night
Is only a dream right now
But soon the mellow light of the moon
Will softly cross my brow
I dream of romantic far away places
Beckoning me to come by
Places I've only read about in books
Accompanied by a lullaby
How can I possibly imagine the thrill
Seeing these historic places
Exotic peoples in exotic costumes
Other origins, other races
A broadening outlook on many lands
Where peace and love do reign
The different cultures and ways of life
Feelings of oneness is attained
Peoples of earth need take a deep breath
Give thanks for the air we breathe
For life and the wonderful world around us
The sun, the rivers, the trees
