"The Moon" by Sarah Jones (Original Song)

Hey guys :) This is a really special song that I wrote for my best friend Jordan. She has been struggling with an eating disorder, drug addiction, and self-harm for many years now. It's something she will fight through for the rest of her life, but I hope it won't always be as hard as it is now. I know it will get better. I wrote this song for her as encouragement for her. She's been in and out of treatment for a long time and I don't get to see her very often anymore, but I wrote this and sent her the lyrics on her birthday back in September to let her know that I'll always believe in her and that I know she can pull through the hard times to get to the life she deserves. And Jordan, if you're reading this - I love you :) You're gonna get through this.

If any of you guys have similar stories, feel free to share them here. Staying strong isn't always easy, but it's worth it.

Love you guys!
Please share this with your friends if you like it :)

LYRICS:

The sky is cloudy tonight
Won't let the stars shine too bright
There ain't a tear in your eyes
But you are ready to fight
To make it all disappear
And sweep the clouds out of here
Won't let it rain another day
Won't let it get too insane

I know you wanna get away, escape the pain
Well, I won't let you waste the day
We'll fly away now

CHORUS:
There's more to life than me, there's more to life than you
Let's grow feathers like a bird and fly right to the moon
Time will heal all these wounds
But for now, let's reach out and claim the moon

His useless heart is made of stone
Your restless heart will never know
How it feels to know his love
Well it was never good enough
Not good enough for you
You deserve a love that's true
Don't lower your self-worth because
To me you're worth the moon

I know you wanna get away, escape the pain
Well, I won't let you waste the day
We'll fly away now

CHORUS

One day these chains will break
And you'll see the light of day
One day you'll fly
You'll sink into the sky
And escape your mind

CHORUS

And once we're past all of this
And we climbed out of the abyss
We'll stand in awe of what we knew
And you'll shine brighter than the moon

:)
