:Intro: 2x :Verse: When I was younger I'd pray for thunder A thousand angels banging on their chairs The white of all the lightning was never that frightening Like cameras all flashing in the air And oh, after it would clear The wonders of the universe they seem so near Lying in my backyard Head is facing skyward I'd imagine all the things that I could be A pilot or a fighter An astronaut or writer Anything except just being me And oh, the bells would start to ring Words came to my head and I would start to sing reff With the moon as the spotlight That shines on me F? And the stars were the lighters in the air And the wind screaming loud sounded just like a crowd And I swore I was already there I'd howl at the moon, ooohhh I'd howl at the moon, ooohhh Now that I'm older And life's a little colder You're told you need to let go of your dreams Everything changes They stare at blank pages I had the dream but couldn't find the key But oh, some nights I hear the strings These melodies in my head I have to sing reff With the moon as the spotlight That shines on me F? And the stars were the lighters in the air And the wind screaming loud sounded just like a crowd And I swore I was already there I'd howl at the moon, ooohhh I'd howl at the moon, ooohhh I'd howl at the moon, ooohhh I'd howl at the moon, ooohhh Ohh..It keeps getting louder Ohh..It keeps getting louder Ohh..It keeps getting louder Ohh..It keeps getting louder Oohh..It keeps getting louder Oohh,,It keeps getting louder With the moon as the spotlight That shines on me F? And the stars were the lighters in the air And the wind screaming loud sounded just like a crowd And I swore I was already there I'd howl at the moon, ooohhh I'd howl at the moon, ooohhh I'd howl at the moon, ooohhh I'd howl at the moon, ooohhh I'd howl at the moon, ooohhh
