I want to be the Moon!

Some aim to be the sun,

Some aim to be stars,

I want to be the moon,

Seen from afar.

Like the moon I would be,

Soaking up all the light,

I would grow each day with it,

Hiding in plain sight.

And when the time would come,

When there will be darkness surround,

I will be the moon,

And spread light all around.

No one would pray to me,

None would chant my name,

But the day I am missing,

They would miss me all the same.

No one would make a wish,

When they see me fall,

But I would be the symbol of love,

That is mightier than all.
