sing to the moon

Sometimes a song really speaks to your heart - this (lyrics below) has been one for me this year, what with the weeping and needing to put my burdens down. When I'm on my own, the reminder that I can sing out loud, sing my heart out, up to the moon, that the stars are still shining even when the clouds are obscuring them, and that there is another side that I will get to, and usually do after just a short struggle.

It was good to sing with friends tonight. And I'm v much looking forwards to a total day off tomorrow. I've turned my alarm off and everything :D

(Verse)
Hey there you, shattered in a thousand pieces
Weeping in the darkest nights.
Hey there you, try to stand up on your own two feet
And stumble into the sky.

(Pre-Chorus)
When the lights go out and you’re on your own
How you’re gonna make it through till the morning sun?

(Chorus)
Sing to the moon and the stars will shine
Over you, lead you to the other side.
Sing to the moon and the stars will shine
Over you, heaven’s gonna turn the tide.

(Verse)
Hey there you, looking for a brighter season
Need to lay your burden down.
Hey there you, drowning in a hopeless feeling,
Buried under deeper ground.

(Chorus)

Sing to the moon and the stars will shine

Over you, lead you to the other side.

Sing to the moon and the stars will shine

Over you, heaven’s gonna turn the tide.
