From the recording Journey's
Lyrics
"Next to Her"
Lyrics and Music - M. Novak
I once knew a wise man from the mountains
He always knew what to do
Took care of the magical fountains
That gave forth gold and jewels
CHORUS:
But he knows there's much more to ponder
He’s got to find the way to get next to her
He is a lonely man of great patience
With not so much for him to endure
But taking care of the earthly fountains
And always dreaming of only her
CHORUS:
He’s got to find a way to get next to her
He knows his queen is of this earth
Aware that his quest will not end
Finding this queen will give their love birth
Knowing all troubles their love will transcend
His dreams show him she is the one
He'll ride a moonbeam looking for clues
And won’t give up until his queen is crowned
She will be his life long muse
Chorus:
He’s gotta find a way
