Dear moon, eternal sun of the night,

Tonight let me rest from this fight.

I call to you to let me sleep tonight,

Set my misery and troubles right,

If only just for one night.

You are the lantern when there is no sun,

While we yearn for the sun in the middle of the night,

You deliver, and I hope you grant a wish.

Let me be empty and weightless, free of guilt and shame,

Let me feel like I have no burden or blame.

Eternal sun of the endless night,

Grant my wish to let me sleep tonight,

Your lovely glow I send my prayers to,

And hope you let sleep carry my weight tonight.
