I could've told you all about the dream I had last night
Where all the world was laughing and our eyes were full of light
But dreams they end and you awake to find
That hope is harder here among humankind
Oh, we sailed to the moon in a hot air balloon
And we cried when it came crashing down
The stars, they shine in the night
They hide in daylight, but we never look up
So what's the point of yet another day?
Encouragement discourages and chases you away
But I believe there's peace that we all hide
Beneath the depths, inside ourselves where love and anger collide
Oh, we sailed to the moon in a hot air balloon
And we cried when it came crashing down
The stars, they shine in the night
They hide in daylight, but we never look up
Centuries go on and we kill
And place a victory flag upon the hill
And I know the battle rages inside
Of each individual so full of pride
So happiness is tearing at the seems
And liberty and majesty are tested in our dreams
But we can find a way to return
To the better nature in ourselves where love is what we yearn
Oh, we sailed to the moon in a hot air balloon
And we cried when it came crashing down
The stars, they shine in the night
They hide in daylight, but we never look up
Oh, we sailed to the moon in a hot air balloon
And we cried when it came crashing down
The stars, they shine in the night
They hide in daylight, but we never look up
