I pictured a rainbow

You held it in your hand

I had flashes

You saw the plan

I wandered out in the world for years

While you just stayed in your room

I saw the crescent

You saw the whole of the moon

The whole of the moon

You were there in the turnstiles

With the wind at your heels

You stretched for the stars

And you know how it feels

To reach too high

Too far

Too soon

You saw the whole of the moon

I was grounded

While you filled the skies

I was dumbfounded by truth

You cut through lies

I saw the rain dirty valley

You saw "Brigadoon"

I saw the crescent

You saw the whole of the moon

I spoke about wings

You just flew

I wondered, I guessed and I tried

You just knew

I sighed

And you swooned

I saw the crescent

You saw the whole of the moon

The whole of the moon

The whole of the moon

The torch in your pocket

And the wind on your heels

You climbed on a ladder

And you know how it feels

To get too high

Too far

Too soon

You saw the whole of the moon

The whole of the moon

Popcorn and cannonballs

All the season's fears

Trumpets, towers, and tenaments

Wide oceans full of tears

Flags, rags, ferryboats

Senators and scars

Every precious dream and vision

Underneath the stars

Yes, you climbed on a ladder

With the wind in your sails

You came like a comet

Blazing your trai

Too high

Too far

Too soon

You saw the whole of the moon
