Moonbeams

[Verse 1]
I've had a rich life in large part because of him
In my fifth year here he left this place
And the boys he raised and the girl he'd found
Were soldiers now

[Chorus]
Things got lost in the moonbeams there
For a little while
And I watched as the grown-ups grieved
But I was still a child

[Verse 2]
Locked in a dream, I saw his face
Backlit in the light of what he made
Impressions of struggle were all I gave

[Verse 3]
And his hand took my hand
My feet matched his stride
The ground swept away as we rose through the sky
And we floated like that

[Chorus]
So we walked in the moonbeams there
It shook everything
And we filled up the vacant years
I could hardly speak
So we walked in the moonbeams there
It shook everything
And we filled up the vacant years
I could hardly speak

[Verse 4]
I explore his old house
And Grandpa's closet shelves
To hold on to artifacts and the histories
I invent and retrace, and unfold

[Chorus]
Oh, we walked in the moonbeams there
It shook everything
And we filled up the vacant years
I could hardly speak
When you walk in the moonbeams there
It shakes everything
When you clutch at the bliss in a dream
I could hardly believe it
I search for the reasons
Things got lost in the moonbeams there
