See the World By Night

You know I don't control the weather But I can pray that the moon will rise And maybe somehow make it all better for a while Maybe we could write God a letter Or we could cast our gaze into sky And ask if he would pull the lever That makes it all right, right Your family said, "Boy, leave, go learn to be a man!" And you saw the world by night from the back seat of a van, yeah Then you made a life by the sea writing poetry A way to make a living of which you never coulda dream You know I don't control the weather But I can wish for the sun to arrive And everything will slowly get better in time, time You got your wish, you got out Your dream were mostly made To see the world by night From the window of a plane, plane Found someone to love you You did your best to love her back, hey Back home where you're from That's the measure of man, hey No, I don't control the weather No, I don't control the weather No, I don't control the weather
