[Verse 1]
Beside my bed there is a lamp
And in that lamp there is a lonely moth
Heâs got one night, heâs got one life
And one thing on his mind, and thatâs the fire
He doesnât care from where it comes
He only knows heâs got to run
Toward the brightest promise in his eye
Now heâs circling to the ground
His wings have burned, heâs falling down
I just watch, and wonder how we carry on
[Verse 2]
It was a world I never made
I just fell into this old parade
They told me itâs my time to shine
And they got ways to light me up at night
They didnât care from where I came
It seemed they lost their pride and shame
Looking for a fire of their own
One last ember hits the ground
The woodâs all burned, it s ashes now
If you look up to the moon, youâll help me carry on
[Verse 3]
Old man in a bar tonight
He sits down on a stool to watch the fight
He says âOne last drink to light me up
And then I do believe Iâve had enoughâ
Chasing dreams that end in pain
Iâve chased the sun, Iâve chased the rain
But nothing ever seemed to fill my cup
I see the angels circling now
I feel the moon behind the clouds
Thatâs the kind of fire Iâd be proud to carry on
