That Moon

Just before the summer, I was playing my guitar When a boy came from the audience And motioned toward the stars. He said it was a full moon And It's all the light we'll need For walking Poly Canyon ... it's a sight to see. He said, We're walking Poly Canyon, Come along, it's a sight to see. So, we rose up in a clearing That was filled with all these shapes From all the heads of all these architects That never grew tired of learning Of Nature and Her systems And how man can live within 'em And how the two can live as one Just like it was Long Before the Wheel and before the gun -I wonder how they lived before the wheel and before the gun. That moon was brighter than day And who knows, maybe even God's way to say: Hey, I know by the looks of it You're human and you're small So, may that moon make you feel 10 feet tall. I looked up at the two mountains With that moon high up above 'em And it looked much like a pendant Dangling from the neck of a woman. With so much beauty there to offer, There's that much more to lose. I said, This might be a stupid question But do you suppose we've landed on that moon? Oh, please forgive my stupid question, But some would argue, that we've never touched that moon. Scotty handed me a cig And I burned it to the ground And in the dirt, I turned those embers Into something like a ghost town. Then a man came out of nowhere- He was the law but fair. He said, On such a night like this, You know it pains me, But I have to ask you to leave. That moon was brighter than day And who knows, maybe even God's way to say: Hey, I know by the looks of it You're human and you're small So, may that moon make you feel 10 feet tall. The sign said that the Lions Would be hunting men like us And that the Snakes had a taste For human heels just above the dust But that moon was all we needed To be giants on that day And to walk among the comforts That no evil thing would dare to come our way. That moon was brighter than day And who knows, maybe even God's way to say: Hey, I know by the looks of it You're human and you're small So, may My moon make you feel 10 feet tall. Hey, I know by the looks of it You're human and you're small So, may that moon make you feel 10 feet tall.
