Dm Am C G
Oh there once was a man who had lost his own smile
Dm Am C G
And he wandered the country mile after mile
Dm Am C G
Never quite knowing what he wanted to find
Dm Am C G
For his heart it laid heavy with the weight of his mind
Dm Am C G
So he looked at the land through the tears in his eyes
Dm Am C G
For he knew there were those who would will her to die
Dm Am C G
And he wept for his mother as he lay at her feet
Dm Am C G
He heard a voice singing him softly to sleep
Dm Am C G
I'll be your queen, I'll be your mother, be your mystical child
Dm Am C G
Be your best friend, your lover, your wife for all time
Dm Am C G
Will there ever be another in this life of mine?
Dm Am C G
Will there ever be another like my mystical child?
So he climbed a high hill and looked out to sea
And he heard a voice calling out softly to him
Open your heart boy for it needs to be free
And the next time you're crying come running to me
I'll be your queen, I'll be your mother, be your mystical child
Be your best friend, your lover, your wife for all time
Will there ever be another in this life of mine?
Will there ever be another like my mystical child?
So he walked through the valleys, the trees and the fields
And he came to a river where she waited for him
And they looked at the water of life flowing by
And he heard a voice saying "You're not alone in the fight"
I'll be your queen, I'll be your mother, be your mystical child
Be your best friend, your lover, your wife for all time
Will there ever be another in this life of mine?
Will there ever be another like my mystical child?
Will there ever be another like my mystical child?

[Verse 1]
Oh there was once a man who had lost his own smile
And he wandered the country mile after mile
Never quite knowing what he wanted to find
For his heart it lay heavy with the weight of his mind
[Verse 2]
And he looked at the land through the tears in his eyes
For he knew that there were those who would will her to die
And he wept for his mother as he lay at her feet
And he heard a voice singing him softly to sleep
[CHORUS]
I'll be your queen, I'll be your mother - I'll be your mystical child
Be your best friend, your lover - Your wife for all time
Will there ever be another, in this life of mine
Will there ever be another, like my mystical child
[Verse 3]
So he climbed a high hill and he looked out to sea
And he heard a voice calling out softly to him
Open your heart boy for it needs to be free
And the next time you're crying come running to me
{CHORUS}
[Verse 4]
So he walked through the valleys the trees and the fields
And he came to a river where she waited for him
And they looked at the water of life flowing by
And he heard a voice saying 'you're not alone in the fight'
{CHORUS}
