Morning moon over the ocean,
Faithful light on the sea,
You help me realize
The man I was meant to be.
There are times in one’s life
When you walk into the wind,
But if the ocean moon should show,
It will help you see within.
Some of it is pretty,
Most of it is bad.
It is only then you realize
Exactly what you had.
Morning moon over the ocean,
Precious light on the sea,
An end to my darkness.
A new day dawns for me.
I’ve failed so many times
To open my eyes to see.
So many were the signs
And hints you gave to me.
I grew into a man
With a heart made out of steel.
Over the years I never saw
The hurt that would never heal.
Morning moon over the ocean
A sure sign from above
That my lonely nights may be ending
With the hope of your great love.
I wish that I could travel
In a ship just for a time
And make a long, long journey
To the day when you were mine.
A bribe for the ferryman
To transport across the sea,
To arrive on the shore
Where you again wait for me.
Morning moon over the ocean,
Faithful light on the sea,
You help me realize
The man I was meant to be.
