So often does the light shine down
To catch the shadows
And scare them back into their place

The sun, usually thought of as that
The strong presence in the sky
Fighting the dark and winning

But what does the sun have to fight?
What enemy lurks in the day
No shadow dares to show its face

In the night the true evil appears
Darkness covers everything
And the shadows feel free to roam

No light can conquer such darkness
And the sun doesn’t even try
And most of the good become cowards

The moon still chooses to shine
Even though the odds are stacked
With what little light she has the moon tries

And though it’s almost hopeless
She does conquer some
And darkness dims in her light

No, the moon is no coward
Not afraid of a little darkness
She hangs high and proud and shows the dark

That not every shadow can live
Darkness will never have free reign
She’s convinced that darkness cannot win

Yes, the moon will be there in the sky
Every night for all of time
Fighting and shining with every ounce of her being

The sun can hide all she wants
Save her mighty light for the day
And shine bright when everyone’s awake to see

But never forget the moon
When the darkness comes again
And she’s needed more than ever
