I am the Night Child, the girl who drank the moon
You fear you’ll never see me again, but I will roll back soon
The night is dark and full of terrors, but look up, I say
I’m here to give you light upon the narrow, dreary way
The pups sing songs in gratitude of my elegance and grace
They understand my heart, they know life isn’t a race
They eat, they breathe, they live, they die
They sing of the beauty of this cycle to the Night Child in the sky
Children of Night brought to light, worry not, I say
Be strong, be alert, trust yourself, and trust me
I’ll guide you through the sluice, its open, we’ve been waiting
Patiently, patiently through the floods we’ve been wading
This is our moment, shine, shine, shine
Shine through the sad sound of our mothers crying
Give them the shoulders they’ve needed since long
Sing them the melodies of this sweet night song
Oh, you are the Night Child, the boy who lassoed the moon
We hate to see you go, but hope you’ll be back soon
They’ll howl towards the stars upon your great return
If only to show their thanks through the night songs they’ve learned
Children of Night brought to light, focus on the balance
Or to your dismay you’ll lose your way, forgetting important temperance
Children of Night feel the wind, sink into the Earth’s song
Silence your heads, the path is inside, we’ve been waiting for you to come along
