There's a pale moon - shine a - bove you,

When the holy night is u - pon you,

From the temple walls to the New York night,
    G/B       D         C
Our decisions rest on a child.
         G        C
When she took her stand,

Did she hold your hand?
          G/B         D                C
Will your faith stand still or run a - way, 
        G
Run a - way?

The work never drove you mad.

Will he hold my hand?

Looking down on the city,
      F#/A#    A
Where you were born
                                      B
All the years since you left gave you time to sit back and reflect
