Flying To The Moon (Alternative Version)

Verse 1 You used to chase horizons where the wild things roam, Staring at the sunset, calling the mountains home. You taught me what love looked like without a single word, A bond so deep and fearless, stronger than I’d ever heard. Then one cruel day the world came crashing down, And the sky that lived inside you couldn’t lift you from the ground. I promised I’d be there through every storm and every scar, Holding onto hope when the finish line felt far. Pre-Chorus Sleepless nights and weary eyes, Praying for a miracle beneath unfamiliar skies. I’d whisper, “Don’t you worry, I’ve got you, my beautiful friend,” Never knowing where the road was destined to end. Chorus Under a blue moon shining silver in your eyes, I held you close and watched the darkness meet the light. And when your tired heart was searching for the sky, I told you, “It’s okay, my friend… it’s okay to fly.” You lost your wings the day the world confined your soul, But no cage could ever keep the wildness that you hold. So when the moonlight called you and the stars began to rise, I let my tears fall freely and told you, “Go on and fly.” Verse 2 I carried all the questions that still haunt me to this day, Wondering if I failed you somehow along the way. I swore I’d never leave you, swore I’d always see you through, But some battles are too heavy for love alone to do. Maybe every step became a prison to your heart, Maybe every sunrise felt like being torn apart. Maybe you were longing for the freedom you once knew, And the sky was softly calling the whole time to you. Pre-Chorus So I lay with you one last time beneath that midnight glow, The moon reflected in your eyes like somewhere you could go. And though my heart was breaking with every passing breath, My love stayed beside you all the way to the edge of death. Chorus Under a blue moon shining silver in your eyes, I held you close and watched the darkness meet the light. And when your tired heart was searching for the sky, I told you, “It’s okay, my friend… it’s okay to fly.” You lost your wings the day the world confined your soul, But no cage could ever keep the wildness that you hold. So when the moonlight called you and the stars began to rise, I let my tears fall freely and told you, “Go on and fly.” Bridge The hardest thing I’ve ever done Was letting go of a friend Who carried half my heart. But love is not a prison, And mercy sometimes means Helping someone find the stars. So if there’s a heaven waiting beyond the blue moon light, I hope you’re flying freely where the pain can’t reach tonight. No fences, no confinement, no broken dreams to mend, Just endless skies around you, my beloved friend. Final Chorus Under that blue moon shining softly in your eyes, I watched your spirit rise beyond the darkened night. And though a piece of me went with you when goodbye arrived, I hear your wings above me every time I see moonlight. You never truly left me, you’re written in my soul, In every whispered memory and every story told. And when my own journey finally reaches its end, I’ll find you in the moonlight and walk beside you again. Outro So fly, my friend… The sky is yours tonight. Fly, my friend… Beneath the blue moon light. As you took your last breath I held you tightly, and whispered to you with tears in my eyes, “you’re flying now. You’re flying to the moon.”
