The moon have been lonely ever since its birth
We can only watch it as it watches us on earth
The moon is all the same and fair no matter the race
After twilight ends the celestial body always shows its grace

In times when you’ve got troubled thoughts in a cloudless night
When you’ve got no friends to turn to and no family in sight
The moon will accompany you until your troubles alight
The moon light will guide you all throughout the fight

It had seen uncountable tales of people living
We have sought its light every time we’re alone grieving
Even sometimes when the moon doesn’t shine
Don’t fret for it is there in the moonless skyline

Like god and his uncountable blessings
Like our teachers and their teachings
Like a mother and her unspoken care
Like a friend and the things he share

We sometimes take people around us for granted
Akin to the moon, our smiles are what they wanted
They are always there silently serving and inconspicuously giving
Sadly we mostly notice them after they depart from us, from the living

Repay their love with a love of your own
For time awaits no one and we always reap what we have sown
So that we won’t regret it when they are gone
Become a faithful devotee, loyal man and a filial son
