The moon is out, the blue reflected light.
New becomes the moon, embracing night.
We tremble with the fear we cannot show.
The night will tell us what we need to know.

Sullen faces stumble through the day.
Darkness comes, the faces turn away.
We tremble with the fear we cannot show.
The night will tell us what we need to know.

The children with their laughter fill the air.
The parents stroke their faces, smooth their hair.
We tremble with the fear we cannot show.
The night will tell us what we need to know.

The brittle shining stars, the light of day.
All our tribulations melt away.
We tremble with the fear we cannot show.
The night will tell us what we need to know.

In the dreaming world, we slumber on.
The sunlight wakes us at the broken dawn.
We tremble with the fear we cannot show.
The night will tell us what we need to know.
