Moon

Little bird by the window light
You were barely seven summers old
Your hands still learning how to write
Your stories not yet told

The world was loud outside our door
But you were quiet as the rain
You asked me what the fighting's for
I never could explain

If the wind shakes the maple leaves
And the night feels long and cold
Know every road you walk
Will lead somewhere brave and bold

And when the world feels much too wide
And shadows crowd your room
Close your eyes and step outside
I'll meet you in the Moon

Oh
Oh

You'll grow tall in borrowed years
Stronger than you know
Carry love through all your fears
Everywhere you go

And when you hear the morning break
Soft against your skin
That's the promise that I make
I'm still there within
