Embers of hope in child's eyes - are real
When fairytale puts fear to sleep, dishonestly
There was a Moon, from which fear ran away so there is no more evil
The taste of those evenings stil comforts my soul
Allthough so many years have passed
But today, my son, you are too old
I can't, I can't protect you anylonger
My arms are too small to guard you
Reality is knocking on the door
And our moonlight fairytale won't defeat it
Now you know, my son
That even, even there
On your Moon, they know pain
And sometimes there lives fear as well
Not once, nor twice yet, will this horrific world
Point it's finger at you
It's sad - but others, not mine, arms will give you peace
There will be a She - hard to think - my fairytale ends
Now you know, my son
That even, even there
On your Moon they know pain
And sometimes there lives fear as well
When I can no longer protect you from reality
Fairy tale is finished, it's time to enter the real world
Now that you know everything, I take away your right to tears
Be a grown up, my son, and don't be afraid, don't be afraid
Now you know, my son
That even, even there
On your Moon they know pain
And sometimes, fear lives there as well
