Mother Moon

When I was a little one I would stay by your side Walking in your shadow close behind And you would tell me all about the mystery You said you'd always be shining in that sky Mother moon do you see the sky is changing Getting brighter all the time And I wish that we could stay this way But I'm bound for the sunrise And I've been changing faster than I can see I don't even know me sometimes And it's not easy growing out of small things Spreading those big wings and taking flight And what I was is behind me And what I will be is moving on So that leaves a little space to look at the moon's face Before the day breaks and she is gone Mother moon do you see the sky is changing Getting brighter all the time And I wish that we could stay this way But I'm bound for the sunrise
