The wind dances through the valley
As the sun creeps ‘cross the sky
The birds and bees all make their way
Travelling slowly by
The twinklin' hue of early dusk
Is a beautiful sight to hold
As the sun sets down for its daily sleep
The world moves back to old
Before its sky’s were tinted grey
And its seas were tinted black
Before the forests held the fear
Of ever having a lack
The moon rises up and takes command
A sovereign for a night
The moon and the stars walk hand in hand
Aware of their kingdoms plight
As the world slumbers on
A peaceful place once more
The moon can try to forget
Pretend that it was lore
But forget he never can
The wounds lie deep inside his heart
He misses the old world
That was once like a work of art
Where rivers ran freely
Through forests never ending
As mountains reached towards the heavens
A world with no need of mending
Since when has there been death
As frequent as the stars are many
Since when has there been millions
With no more then a mere penny
What happened to the world
That once shone with a light so brightly
The light of the pure and innocent
He just didn't know quite rightly
But as the moon looked away in sorrow
He spotted a familiar sight
Somewhere in this dark world
Shone a single, burning light
It brought tears to his old wise eyes
To see a treasure so rare
The hopes and dreams of a child
Who really truly cared
And as the sky lights up with dawn
And the moon lies back to rest
He can sleep a restful sleep
Knowing that he has done his best
And the sun looks out over her world
From the cities to the mountains that range
And it warms her broken hurting heart
To know it all can change
