I'm Afraid, Big Moon

Sometimes in the night when living is easy

I go out and watch the sky

That chains me like a child

Is it the moon that takes me far away

Have the stars got something to say

I'm afraid, big moon

That they'll come and catch you soon

And root you up in your old days

You're looking peaceful, sleeping stars

But your silence will depart

When astronauts will cross your way

Without doubt, it won't take long

'Fore disgust will make us all think wrong

We are too young

To see what our children see

But we are the ones

To start the way out of misery

Let they go to the stars

The scene will not change at all

If they don't go their way together

Maybe when I'm with you, stars

And my prayers will be in vain

Then love will cross your way

Oh, hey, oh hey-e-ey

I'm afraid, big moon

That they'll come and catch you soon

You're looking peaceful, stars,

Your silence will depart

Hope that they will come together, once, in distant days

Maybe when I'm with you, stars, then love will cross our way

Well, I don't want to paint the future black

But like me there are millions who desire something back

It's not the exploring of stars that seems to be a joke

It's just the faith in the old that broke

While I'm standing here and I'm trying to get high

While I'm dreaming of the stars my time is passing by

I think I've got a lot to do before I'm loosing hope

It's just the faith in the old that broke

It's just the faith in the old that broke

It's just the faith in the old that broke

It should be so that the old are good and wise

But when you look around the old are telling lies

They teach us dissatisfaction and hate

If we don't return, it could be too late

If we don't return, don't return, don't return it could be too late
