Lyrics
(Verse 1)
They told you ’bout the man up high,
Alone in the dark, just watchin’ the sky.
But they never said who lit his flame,
Who carried the weight, who whispered his name.
(Chorus)
Oh, the woman on the moon, holding up the sky,
While he took the credit, she kept it alive.
She built the light, she paved the way,
But history forgot her name anyway.
(Verse 2)
She stitched the stars into his cape,
Carved his throne from dreams she shaped.
He stood so tall, while she stayed unseen,
The silent force behind the king.
(Chorus)
Oh, the woman on the moon, holding up the sky,
While he took the credit, she kept it alive.
She built the light, she paved the way,
But history forgot her name anyway.
(Verse 3)
But tides still rise, and shadows fall,
She moves the world—he claims it all.
Look closer now, through midnight’s glow…
The woman on the moon still runs the show.
They told you ’bout the man up high,
Alone in the dark, just watchin’ the sky.
But they never said who lit his flame,
Who carried the weight, who whispered his name.
(Chorus)
Oh, the woman on the moon, holding up the sky,
While he took the credit, she kept it alive.
She built the light, she paved the way,
But history forgot her name anyway.
(Verse 2)
She stitched the stars into his cape,
Carved his throne from dreams she shaped.
He stood so tall, while she stayed unseen,
The silent force behind the king.
(Chorus)
Oh, the woman on the moon, holding up the sky,
While he took the credit, she kept it alive.
She built the light, she paved the way,
But history forgot her name anyway.
(Verse 3)
But tides still rise, and shadows fall,
She moves the world—he claims it all.
Look closer now, through midnight’s glow…
The woman on the moon still runs the show.
