I am cold, said the Moon
Then turn yourself to me, said the Sun
You are so warm, so bright!
Ah yes, you've discovered my charm.

So the Moon stayed close to the Sun
Ever addicted to her radiance
He basked in her eternal warmth
Was enveloped by her beauty.

One the day the Moon asked the Sun
Please, revolve around me for a while
Oh no! said the Sun
It is I who must always remain at the center.

The Moon became angry
He tried to pull away
But found he could not
Her force was too strong.

Sun, Sun, called the Moon
Undo this curse, let me go
I cannot, replied the Sun
I can see you need me too much.

And so the Moon let himself be blinded by her light
Although the inner struggle continued
He could never seem to break away
He didn't know what was right anymore.

Then one day the Moon realized what he must do
He stood up to the Sun and said,
I no longer need your light, I will make it on my own
So he blocked the light of the Sun
And for a moment, the Sun turned black
And the Moon thought he had won.
