Children of the moonlight
It is the moonlight
that is awakened
Every time these
children go out to play
It is not because of
the dark night
It is the moonlight
inside their cheerful hearts
That breaks free and
decorate their laughter
They are the
enchantment of the night
Fully embellished
with secrets
They have a role to
play
Outside the
government of the day
They have to break
free
And fill the world
with freedom
They have to sneak
out
To pour their
moonlight into the sky
So that the moon can
shine again
It is not magical
spells
It is the sacred
pearls
That are scattered
into the air
Like raindrops,
these are pellets of life
Ever so ready to
enter the dome of life
And be planted
inside the stem of existence
Get your act
together
Do not curse each
other
Freedom is not cheap
