by: Mission U.K.She's got her head in the clouds
She's got the stars in her eyes
She's dancing with a dream in her heart
She's got the wind in her hair
Moonchild shining bright
And she's dancing, with a dream in her heart
Severina, Severina
She believes in angels,
She believes in will of the gods
And shes dancing amongst the magic dust
She believes in the midnight trance
She believes in love is the law
And shes dancing amongst the magic dust
Severina, Severina

Baby born of heaven!
