Oh moon... are you alone and lost too?
Do the twinkling stars remind you of
The one you wish you were?
Do you... ever look upon the Earth?
As you shine your softened light
Do you hear our softened words?
The sad, the lonely, and the mute
Who look upon your face?
Who fill their minds with thoughts
That die upon their tongues?
Who feel the light you shine on us
As we block you with our hand?
A brightness just beyond dim lights
That I run towards to seek?
With hope, I give a little prayer under your moonlight
Though knowing you don't hear, still I confide
One day when I reach the stars, I hope to be you
Something that can be there, and shine upon the Earth
Maybe it's a foolish prayer to offer to you
After all... the moon cannot reply...
With hope, I give a little prayer under your moonlight
For even at my lowest, you in the sky remain
One day when I reach the stars, I'll cry no more
I'll be like you - a beacon in the dark
Maybe it's a foolish prayer to offer to you
After all... I know no one can hear...
But that won't stop me trying
Even if it's pointless
Even if it's worthless
I'll say my little prayer to you.
