looking for the moon

Daddy, daddy where's the moon
I wish she'd come on out real soon
I wanna see her shining face
Lighting up all the deep dark space

Son she's there, but now it can't be seen
The day is young so don't worry 'bout those things
Don't worry son, soon the night will fall
And in the revealing deadness of it all
Trust me son in just the perfect time
There she'll be- shining bright
She won't be hard to find

Sure is dark out here tonight
These tall trees, making shadows out of light
Behind this treeline I know you're shining somewhere
When's this cold dark path gonna lead me there
Seems everywhere I look I can always find a star
But all they do is make me miss where you are
So now I'm hoping that this path will lead
To the place where I can look past these trees
And in that clearing where all distractions will cease
I'll be free to sit and stare at the moonlight meant for me

God my Father where is she
I need her light to fill the space that is me
Lord you're all the light I'll ever need
But where's the moonlight only she can be
I long to see her, God I'm looking at thee
But can I know her before the twilight's on me
'Cause filling my night sky, Lord is up to you
Walking by your daylight, still all the while
I'll be looking for the moon

I'm feeling this one right now. Really feeling it.
Yeah, that's all I have to say on that.
