When I was younger

I'd pray for thunder

A thousand angels banging on their chairs

The white of all the lightning was never that frightening

Like cameras all flashing in the air

And oh, after it would clear

The wonders of the universe they seem so near

Lying in my backyard

Head is facing skyward

I'd imagine all the things that I could be

A pilot or a fighter

An astronaut or writer

Anything except just being me

And oh, the bells would start to ring

Words came to my head and I would start to sing

With the moon as the spotlight

That shines on me

And the stars were the lighters in the air

And the wind screaming loud sounded 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 you need to let go of your dreams

Everything changes

They stare at blank pages

I had the dream but couldn't find the key

But oh, some nights I hear the strings

These melodies in my head I have to sing

With the moon as the spotlight

That shines on me

And the stars were the lighters in the air

And the wind screaming loud sounded 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

That shines on me

And the stars were the lighters in the air

And the wind screaming loud sounded 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

I'd howl at the moon
