its rising casts light on dreams of the future
its journey through night will bring tomorrow anew
let moon carry forward our dreams and our courage
its rising casts light on dreams of the future
but that future may prove to be in great peril
if restraint and balance continue abandoned
its journey through night will bring tomorrow anew
but will that tomorrow dawn on new hope
if humans fail to finally embrace equilibrium
let moon carry forward our dreams and our courage
let it also cast sterling our strength to strive harder
our journey through night must lead us to balance
