MOON CHILD

Yeah…

Moon Child…

Even when the night ends, I’m still cold

Standing by myself in the morning glow

Everything I lost, I carry it close

I’m a Moon Child, look how far I came

Even when the night ends, wounds don’t heal

Still kept moving with the pain I feel

Carried things I could never tell nobody

I’m a Moon Child, look how far I came

Couldn’t handle myself, worried ’bout the gang

Every day thinking ’bout everybody but me

Never had room just to breathe for a minute

“Work” and “outside” — excuses, I admit it

Made that girl cry more times than I should

Every single tear still hurt like it would

Truth is, them days were hard as hell

Too much inside that I couldn’t tell

Late nights saying, “I wanna give it all up”

Too many nights thought I’d never make it home

Designer kept stacking, diamonds on my neck

Lost what really mattered just to learn respect

Funny how you learn when it’s already gone

Threw away the things I should’ve held on

Even right now if I let my guard down

Feel like my heart could rust from the inside out

Chrome wallet that I bought at eighteen

Beat-up leather, but it still means everything

Can’t put a price on the time that it holds

Now I’m getting older, finally I know

Money can’t measure the weight of a memory

Things that meant nothing became everything

All of these years, all the people I lost

Now I understand what that journey cost

Even when the night ends, I’m still cold

Standing by myself in the morning glow

Everything I lost, I carry it close

I’m a Moon Child, look how far I came

Even when the night ends, wounds don’t heal

Still kept moving with the pain I feel

Carried things I could never tell nobody

I’m a Moon Child, look how far I came

Now I can tell you what really matters

Every choice I made built who I am

No more hesitation, don’t look behind me

Moonlight on the road, one step at a time

Climbing ‘til I make it, I ain’t getting off

Still see that one scene that I used to dream of

Out of all these stars, little by little

Made some dreams come true, that’s real, no fiction

Not what I wanna do — what I gotta do

If that’s what life is, I’m walking straight through

These days ain’t easy, they wear down my soul

Still step forward, running ain’t in my code

If the night got no stars, I’ll become the moon

Stand here shining just to guide you through

This ain’t pretty words, I’ll prove it with my life

Everything I say, you can see it in my scars

Still got dreams, I ain’t finished yet

Still got promises I ain’t paid back yet

Came this far with the weight on my back

Moon Child rising, ain’t turning back

All of my losses came with me too

All of my scars made the man you see

Still somewhere between who I was and my dreams

I’m a Moon Child — still becoming me

Even when the night ends, I’m still cold

Standing by myself in the morning glow

Everything I lost, I carry it close

I’m a Moon Child, look how far I came

Even when the night ends, wounds don’t heal

Still kept moving with the pain I feel

Carried things I could never tell nobody

I’m a Moon Child, look how far I came

Yeah…

If there ain’t no stars tonight…

I’ll become the moon

For my family…

For the ones I lost…

For the ones still walking with me…

I’m a Moon Child

And I’m still chasing that dream

Yeah…
