[Verse 1]
First night
Nothing but a black sky
Quiet
Then you tore a silver seam
Across the dark
Across the deep
Pulled oceans to their feet
Taught the water how to breathe
[Chorus]
Mother Moon
You’re the reason
Every wave
Every heartbeat’s in season
You turn the planet like a prayer in your hands
We rise
We fall
We move when you command
Mother Moon
You’re the keeper
Of our blood
Of our tides
Of our sleep
Yeah
Take you out of this sky
We disappear
We’re only here because you’re here
[Verse 2]
You write
Soft code in our veins at midnight
Quietly you tip the scales
Tell the seeds to crack their shells
Pull the madness from our heads
Lay it gentle in our beds
[Chorus]
Mother Moon
You’re the reason
Every wave
Every heartbeat’s in season
You turn the planet like a prayer in your hands
We rise
We fall
We move when you command
Mother Moon
You’re the keeper
Of our blood
Of our tides
Of our sleep
Yeah
Take you out of this sky
We disappear
We’re only here because you’re here
[Bridge]
Who were we
Before your light named our shadows?
Would we speak
If you hadn’t split the black open? (oh)
Every story that we tell
Starts with you hanging there
[Chorus]
Mother Moon
You’re the reason
Every wave
Every heartbeat’s in season
You turn the planet like a prayer in your hands
We rise
We fall
We move when you command
Mother Moon
You’re the keeper
Of our blood
Of our tides
Of our sleep
Yeah
Take you out of this sky
We disappear
We’re only here because you’re here
