Lyrics

When I was the moon how I shined through the night
When I was the moon I was proud of my light
I wasn’t afraid of any kind of darkness
When I was the moon, when I was the moon

When I was the moon, I was never shy when I waxed or waned
I knew that time had its circles and its games
I wasn’t afraid to take some time away
I could disappear and be okay

No, I am not at my full glow tonight
Yes, I’m a sliver of ancient light
When I was the moon, I was never afraid to change
I knew my power at every phase

When I was the moon, I never cried for myself
My heart was big enough to see
The universe that holds you and me
The tides how they flood and the tides how they expose
When I was the moon, I knew what the ocean knows
That every part of life is a mystery to behold
When I was the moon, when I was the moon
I knew rhythms and circles and rhythms and circles
And I wasn’t afraid to change
