The moon smiles down at us
At those who dance in her gentle light
She shines without overpowering
The diamond stars around
Some nights she wears a cloak of cloud
Some nights she's bright and proud
Some nights she hides the scars that show
How she protects us
Others she shouts in our faces
How we should thank her
But still when all the stars are out
Telling of the time
She silently lulls us to sleep
Like a gentle mother
Then she dips beyond the horizon
And the sun takes over
Being the gentle mother
Of the Earth we call home
