Little Miss Luna
I’d like to snatch a blanket from my room
 Pack a bag, head to the moon with you
 find a crater and call it ours.
 Walk around the very next day,
 Find the flag they placed way back then
 When we were stuck in time.
 But now we’re free
 and gravity can’t hold us down.
 
 Now we’re floating, we’re flying in the air
 We can jump as high as the stars
 Now the look of the earth
 is as small as my heart
 And I don’t want to go back,
 Never go back.
 
 We can’t travel in time,
 time’s not an object here
 but if we wanted, 
 I’m sure we could find a way.
 We make moon snowballs of cheese
 throw one in the atmosphere
 for every one of our tears
 Watch them float away 
 into a black abyss
 spotted with star-white kisses
 Never missing them
 Because we have the moon
 Little Miss Luna who smiles up to us
 Whenever the sun comes up.
 
 Now we’re floating, we’re flying in the air
 We can jump as high as the stars
 Now the look of the earth
 is as small as my heart
 And I won’t go back,
 Never will I go back.
 
 Because this is my home now
 Our spaceship and all
 Forget the troubles that made us run along
 And the Earth doesn’t care
 Well, I don’t care for it either,
 So it all works out.
 
 Now we’re floating, hearts soaring high
 We can jump farther than the sky
 Ever allowed us to, Earth was just an era
 That I’ll always remember,
 But never go back to. 
 
 Earth was an unkind time of my life
 and I’ll never return,
 Just us and our moon
 for as long as we’re allowed
