Lyrics br br When I was younger br I'd pray for thunder br A thousand angels banging on their chairs br The white of all the lightning was never that frightening br Like cameras all flashing in the air br br And oh, after it would clear br The wonders of the universe they seem so near br br Lying in my backyard br Head is facing skyward br I'd imagine all the things that I could be br A pilot or a fighter br An astronaut or writer br Anything except just being me br br And oh, the bells would start to ring br Words came to my head and I would start to sing br br With the moon as the spotlight br That shines on me br And the stars were the lighters in the air br And the wind screaming loud sounded just like a crowd br And I swore I was already there br I'd howl at the moon br I'd howl at the moon br br Now that I'm older br And life's a little colder br You're told you need to let go of your dreams br Everything changes br They stare at blank pages br I had the dream but couldn't find the key br br But oh, some nights I hear the strings br These melodies in my head I have to sing br br With the moon as the spotlight br That shines on me br And the stars were the lighters in the air br And the wind screaming loud sounded just like a crowd br And I swore I was already there br br I'd howl at the moon br I'd howl at the moon br I'd howl at the moon br I'd howl at the moon br br It keeps getting louder br It keeps getting louder br It keeps getting louder br It keeps getting louder br It keeps getting louder br It keeps getting louder br br With the moon as the spotlight br That shines on me br And the stars were the lighters in the air br And the wind screaming loud sounded just like a crowd br And I swore I was already there br br I'd howl at the moon br I'd howl at the moon br I'd howl at the moon br I'd howl at the moon br I'd howl at the moon
