Moon, shine bright down on me
Show me how you fly
Take me up into the night
And we will swing
You'll tell me stories
All about what you have seen
Throughout all of history
Which you have learned
'Cause there's no one alive
That's seen quite as much as you
All those stories, are they true
You know
You shine so bright on me
This night, this summer night
Tell me, is it worth the fight
Is there hope
'Cause you've seen yesterday
Tell me, are we better off than they
With our new technologies
It's funny how we can't be pleased
No, no
So wake up world
Hear the past, it's calling you
Saying, stand up tall
It's time
It's time to pick your side
You can't stay on the line
'Cause this is true
Oh, this is war
And moon, tell me more
Did you see the dinosaurs
Did you watch our earth before
Mankind arrived
And when we did
There you stayed
Stayed to watch our children play
Through the good times and the bad
You were there
You watched our wars
Watched us close open doors
Watched us stumble, watched us fly, watched us fail
Blinded by our pride
By our selfish, greedy eyes
You watched us slowly drag ourselves
Down to war
'Cause you've seen yesterday
Tell me, are we better off than they
Have we learned from their mistakes
Are we too good to bend and break
No, no
So wake up world
Hear the past, it's calling you
Saying, stand up tall
It's time
It's time to pick your side
You can't stay on the lines
'Cause this is true
This is war
So wake up world
Hear the past, it's calling you
Saying, stand up tall
It's time
It's time to pick your side
You can't stay on the lines
'Cause this is true
This is war
