Lyrics
Where the great bear roams - Where the spirit grows - I want to be there - Where the elders pray - Where the children play - I want to be there - With the sun and the moon - Making love to the sky - Where the wonder of it all - Makes you break down and cry -
I want to be there - I want to be there -
Where the rivers flow - Where the spirit grows - I want to be there - Where the world is one - Mother earth and sun - I want to be there - With the sun and the moon - Making love to the sky - Where the wonder of it all - Makes you break down and cry -
Oh brother sun - Oh sister moon - Oh can't you hear - The earth a praying - Almighty sea - Come rescue me - Your majesty - Hear what she's saying -
See the sun and the moon - Making love to the sky - Where the wonder of it all - Makes you break down and cry -
I want to be there - I want to be there -
Where the eagle soars - Where the waters roar - I want to be there - On the open sky - On the mountain high - I want to be there - With the sun and the moon - Making love to the sky - Where the wonder of it all - Makes you break down and cry -
I want to be there - I want to be there - I want to be there - I want to be there.
