As I raised my wings gracefully, the clouds above danced high. My mother’s words repeated in my mind
"Take another moonlight flight, I say, take another moonlight flight"
I have never felt so free, after being released from my trap. Again and again my mother’s words
"Take another moonlight flight, I say, take another moonlight flight"
The flap of the wind, The CRASH of the thunder. With every heartbeat my mother’s words repeat
"Take another moonlight flight, I say, take another moonlight flight"
I must be brave, yes, I must be strong. I must withstand this strong, strong storm, my mother, I remember her warm cuddle, her words, her words
"Take another moonlight flight, I say, take another moonlight flight"
As my wings flap quickly, faster then the rapids below, I may forget about my mother but her words will stay with me forever
"Take another moonlight flight, I say, take another moonlight flight"
