lyrics

When I was a child
I never understood why
I could see the moon in the daytime
Now that I've grown
I've come to know that
the only reason we can see the moon
Is because the sun shines

When I was a child
I thought that the moon must
follow me everywhere I go
Everywhere
Now that I've grown
I've come to know that
The moon doesn't follow me at all
It's just always there

When I was small
I slept with a blanket
a pillow and a doll
Now that I'm tall
I haven't changed much at all
I've got a blanket, a pillow, and a doll
and my guitar

When I was small I hardly feared anyone
But I was afraid of God
Now that I'm tall I'm still afraid of God
and I don't know which direction I should run

Would I run away if it meant I would never again see the sun?
Or is the moon enough?

Or is the moon enough?
