When I was younger
I'd pray for a thunder
A thousand angels banging on their chairs
Why of all the lightning was never that frightning
Like cameras all flashing on the air
And oh, after it would clear
The wonders of the universe they seem so near
Lying in my backyard
Had this face in skyward
I'd imagine all the things that I could be
A pilot or fighter
An astranout or rider
Anything except just being me
And oh, the bells would start to wind
Worst came to my head and I would start to sing
With the moon as the spotlight
The shines on me
And the stars were the lighters in the air
And the wind screaming loud sounding 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 that it's a record of your dreams
Everything changes
This terror blank pages
I had the dream but couldn't find the key
But oh, some nights I hear the strings
These melodies I have to sing
With the moon as the spotlight
The shines on me
And the stars were the lighters in the air
And the wind screaming loud sounding 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
The shines on me
And the stars were the lighters in the air
And the wind screaming loud sounding just like a crowd
And I swore I was already there
I'd howl at the moon
I'd howl at the moon
