Howl At The Moon

When I was younger I'd pray for thunder A thousand angels banging on their chairs The white of all the lightning was never that frightening Like cameras all flashing in the air

And oh, after it would clear The wonders of the universe they seem so near

Lying in my backyard Head is facing skyward I'd imagine all the things that I could be A pilot or a fighter An astronaut or writer Anything except just being me

And oh, the bells would start to ring Words came to my head and I would start to sing

With the moon as the spotlight That shines on me And the stars were the lighters in the air And the wind screaming loud sounded just like a crowd And I swore I was already there I'd howl at the moon I'd howl at the moon

Now that I'm older And life's a little colder You're told you need to let go of your dreams Everything changes They stare at blank pages I had the dream but couldn't find the key

But oh, some nights I hear the strings These melodies in my head I have to sing

With the moon as the spotlight That shines on me And the stars were the lighters in the air And the wind screaming loud sounded just like a crowd And I swore I was already there

I'd howl at the moon I'd howl at the moon I'd howl at the moon I'd howl at the moon

It keeps getting louder It keeps getting louder It keeps getting louder It keeps getting louder It keeps getting louder It keeps getting louder

With the moon as the spotlight That shines on me And the stars were the lighters in the air And the wind screaming loud sounded just like a crowd And I swore I was already there

I'd howl at the moon I'd howl at the moon I'd howl at the moon I'd howl at the moon I'd howl at the moon
