[melodic interlude] **Verse 1 (Lead):** Long way to Shangrila, **(Background):** Oh, the road is long, **(Lead):** Where the mountains touch the sky, **(Background):** We keep holding on. **(Lead):** A country girl with dreams so bright, **(Background):** Walking through the night. **(Lead):** Guided gently, step by step, **(Background):** Towards that place we’ve kept. **Chorus (Lead):** Shangrila, our paradise awaits, **(Background):** A mystical embrace, **(Lead):** Harmony in every breath we take, **(Background):** Love will light the way. **Verse 2 (Lead):** Through the valleys, shadows fall, **(Background):** But we rise above it all, **(Lead):** Whispered hopes, a guiding hand, **(Background):** Lamasery’s sweet command. **(Lead):** We’ve traveled far, we’ve come so near, **(Background):** With every step, we conquer fear. **(Lead):** The end of the road feels like a start, **(Background):** A journey deep within the heart. **Chorus (Lead):** Shangrila, our paradise awaits, **(Background):** A mystical embrace, **(Lead):** Harmony in every breath we take, **(Background):** Love will light the way. **Bridge (Lead):** So proud of where we’ve been, **(Background):** Never looking back again, **(Lead):** With every mountain crossed, we find, **(Background):** A piece of peace of mind. **(Lead):** In Shangrila, we’ll dance and sing, **(Background):** Feel the joy that freedom brings. [Hook] **Chorus (Lead):** Shangrila, our paradise awaits, **(Background):** A mystical embrace, **(Lead):** Harmony in every breath we take, **(Background):** Love will light the way. **Outro (Lead):** Long way to Shangrila, **(Background):** But together we stand strong, **(Lead):** We’ll reach that valley of our dreams, **(Background):** Where we all belong. **(Lead & Background):** Shangrila, oh, Shangrila, Together in harmony! **(Background):** Shangrila, oh, Shangrila, We’ll find our way to be free!
