Keep your head up, Moon Mother
For your day has yet to come
If you want to find the light
Do not go in search of sun
For it only shines but half the time
And you, are made of fire
Come night or day
You’re made of flames
And your warmth will not expire

Keep your head up, sweet child
For tomorrow brings new hope
You have climbed much higher mountains
You have slipped on steeper slopes
Yet here you are, and a force you are
You are what cannot be beat
With galaxy eyes and bones of stars
On your own you are complete

Keep your head up, lovely human
For your wounds will heal again
Right now it seems unbearable  
But this pain, it is your friend
And though you may struggle
To keep moving forward
Please, do not dismay
Look in the mirror, find your voice
I’ll tell you what to say:

What is for you
Will always find you
The words you speak
Will always bind you
What you suffer
Does not define you
They who love you
Will not confine you
Just keep going
Your heart will guide you
