Interesting - Moonshadow...

My kids love the song Moonshadow by Cat Stevens.  I learned to play it and it is a fun one to sing with and enjoy with them.  It is a power song about finding a silver lining in whatever you are doing...

Here is a link to listen to the song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr0rDW5j1KU

Here are the lyrics.

[Chorus:]
Oh, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moon shadow, moonshadow---
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow---


And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if I won't have to work no more.

And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry, 
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if I won't have to cry no more.

[Chorus]

And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I won't beg,
Yes if I ever lose my legs, Oh if I won't have to walk no more.

And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south, 
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if I won't have to talk...

Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the night?

[Chorus]
Moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow.Writer/s: YUSUF ISLAM, CAT STEVENS
