As twilight approaches
I silently climb the darkening skies
And when the Earth goes to bed
I shall shine.
I’m not cruel like the Sun
You look at me and your eyes don’t run.
I’m not selfish, like you
When I light your darkest nights
I don’t complain
Because I stay awake
Every time you sleep.
No, I’m not weak.
The Earth is like my child
I watch upon her all night.
But it is not easy at all
To do it all alone.
I have been swimming across the sky
Looking for a friend
Since the beginning of time.
But there’s no one out there
To help me sometime
And you people, you don’t care
You have each other every time, anywhere.
But the wolves, they’re the only ones
Who talk to me, and sing..
And that’s when I feel unique.
