Verse 1:
Beneath the moon's soft silver glow, My voice lifts up to starlit skies, No walls to hold, no need to know If anyone can hear my cries. The night air holds my grateful song, Here, free and blessed, is where I belong.
Verse 2:
The moonbeams dance on every note, As melodies flow from my heart, Each word of praise that I devote Makes earth and heaven feel less apart. In lunar light, my spirit soars, Singing thanks to Him who restores.
