The Moon

The Moon's shining bright tonight
'cause my feet will step on free land
and my heart will be happy once again

The Moon turns bright red
'cause me mother fell dead
the sufferin' she was dealing
was too much for her mind and soul
Good thing the Lord took her
so that she could watch me free
from up there in heaven

The Moon shines and smiles to me
the grass comforts my swollen feet
Mine bloodstains on the shirts I will see no more
Mine dark past will haunt my dreams no more
Mine master will lament his loss
Now the fate is in mine hands now
I will keep running by the light
of the Moon that shining bright tonight
