More Than America: From Here to Eternity the Musical
Lyrics by Tim Rice
Music by Stuart Brayson

N. (The 'Em's in the verses can be substituted for 'G's
     & the 'Bm's in the third line of the verses can be
     substituted for 'D's).

I never knew a moment, could close on me like this,

To fool me, this could be forever more.

Yet somehow all my confidence, and somehow all my dreams, 

Are flooding back like waves upon a shore.

I don't know where we're going,

But I know the road too well.

The secrecy, the enchantment the hell.

Instrumental:

(Alo-aloha-aloha, from Waikiki) x2

There are moments in a lifetime, very sudden, very few,

When your life's laid out before you, reaching far into the blue,

Don't look back; that part is over, and tomorrow's crazy too,

And our world is much more than  - me - ri - ca.

Instrumental:

(Alo-aloha-aloha, from Waikiki) x2

I could stay wrapped up in my safe and cosy shell,

Never venture over borders, never risk another's health,

But it's hard to be a stranger on a crowded carousel,

When your home is much more than  - me - ri - ca.

More than Ame - rica, God bless Ame - rica

But it's far away, it's a li- fetime away.

Instrumental:

,  x2
(Alo-aloha-aloha, from Waikiki) x2

I had my game plan sorted, around to show my way(?).

No emotional distraction, that is until today,

Who would think we'd think we'd find an answer, on an island far away,

Where we found we need more than  - me - ri - ca.

More than Ame - rica, more than Ame - rica

It's so far away, it's a li- fetime away. x2

Instrumental:

More than Ame - rica, more than Ame - rica

It's so far away, it's a li- fe - time a - way.
