Now I've paid my dues 'cause I have owed them     but I've paid a price sometimes
 For being such a stubborn woman     in such stubborn times
I have run from the arms of lo         I have run from the eyes of friends
 I have run from the hands of kindness   I have run just because I can

But now I've grown and I speak like a woman
And I see with a woman's eyes  and an open door is to  me now like
 The saddest of goodbyes  but it's to late for turning back
And I pray for the heart and the nerve

I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon and St Christopher

I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon and St Christopher

To be my guide
