Lyrics
The Boy Who Built the Moon © 2013 Grant Maloy Smith I've been searching everywhere There's a place but she's not there Lonely lights so way up high They need her and so do I I - I'm gonna take these hands I'm gonna catch the wind and tame the fire and I - I'm gonna shape this land Gonna lift her up into the sky I'm the Boy Who Built the Moon Take your gloves and steady light Get your boots and pull 'em tight There's hats and tools to spare and breathers full of air There's work for every every hand There's more work than we planned And I - I'm gonna take these hands I'm gonna catch the wind and tame the fire and I - will shape this land And lift her up into the sky I'm the Boy Who Built the Moon One thousand sleepless nights one million fireflies I'm wishing from afar Here comes the morning star And I - I'm gonna take these hands I'm gonna catch the wind and tame the fire and I - I will shape this land I'll lift her up into the sky I'm the Boy Who Built the Moon And I - I will not fail I will not beg I will not plead And I - I'm gonna make things right I will not fall I will not cede I'm the Boy Who Built the Moon
