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