To Be the Moon

[Verse 1]
Everybody wants to be a star
But shooting stars always burn out way too soon
And the sun is way too hot to hold
And always leaves after every afternoon
So it's not so bad to be the moon
No, it’s not so bad to be the moon

[Chorus]
So don't you dare duck behind the clouds and hide
You help children dream and you make lovers swoon
Don't you know you’re strong enough to change the tide
So it's not so bad to be the moon
No, it's not so bad to be the moon

[Verse 2]
Even poets say there's magic in your shine
Every night, the whole wide world looks up to you
And to stare at the sun would leave them blind
So it's not so bad to be the moon
No, it's not so bad to be the moon

[Chorus]
It's not so bad to be the moon
So don't you dare duck behind the clouds and hide
You help children dream and you make lovers swoon
Don’t you know you’re strong enough to change the tide
So it's not so bad to be the moon
No, it’s not so bad to be the moon
No, it's not so bad to be the moon
No, it's not so bad to be the moon

[Outro]
It's not so bad
Everybody wants to be a star
But shooting stars always burn out way too soon
