As I slept on silver sunshine
From the moon's reflecting gaze
All the stars stood staring strongly
Through their universal maze

And the children dreamed of climbing
While their mothers kept them close
Could have been the perfect timing
To forget their worldly woes

Now the silent darkness listens
To the thoughts of billions' souls
As their rising hopes do glisten
While they turn into set goals

Lest the slivers of much moonlight
Reconsider where they'll land
Guess I'll just keep dreaming of you
While I reach out for your hand
