The Moon Is Down

The moon is down and heaven is waiting
For us to find her in our sites
With focus that's strong
But my strength keeps slipping

Now we're all the terminal cases
But we're so determined to thrive
And those with defeat on their faces
Are those that we must keep alive

And I admire your strength
You keep us going on
You keep us fighting long after the fire

You've measured our strides
Marked the degree of our fever
Charted the log
Made sure the temperature's rising

To fan the flames
And brandish our new courage proudly
As if it were ours from the outset
As if we were never alone

The moon is down and heaven is waiting
For callers and entries
As we're calling out
This is ours, ours, ours, this one is ours

Now we're all the terminal cases
But we're so determined to thrive
And those with defeat on their faces
Are those that we must keep alive

And I admire your strength
You keep us going on
You keep us fighting
Long after the fire
