Come, let us rise high to rule the sky,
Pack up the bright moon,
And bring it down to the earth, come!
Come, let us soar far and wide,
Come, leap across the rainbow,
Come, travel far into the cool breeze.
To cross the endless blue,
Come, let us build a bridge.
Come, pair up on a stage of clouds,
Come, dance in the flash of lightning!
Is it because love has taken us over,
That the bright moon is no longer far away?
Is it because love has taken us over,
That there is pure joy in our eyes?
Come, on tiny wings,
To hold up the full moon.
Come, with your beauty,
Come touch my beauty.
Come, in the world up above,
To dance with our souls brushing together.
Come, the infinite expanse,
Come cross it in just a moment!
Crossing past the stars,
Crossing beyond all the planets,
We can create another world!
Wrapped inside the clouds,
The bright moon we brought along—
We can dust it clean,
And stick it onto our sky of love!
Is it because love has taken us over,
That the bright moon is no longer far away?
Is it because love has taken us over,
That there is pure joy in our eyes?
