How can the moon be ubiquitous

How can the moon still be there

When I’ve driven for over an hour?

It drives me to despair

Yes how can the moon be ubiquitous?

My reality’s turned suddenly pale

Is it all just an optical illusion

Trompe-l’oeil on a massive scale?

But whatever the truth of our reality

Whether there’s a below and above

And even if it’s all just an illusion

Please let it all be for love

Let it be for love

That the sun keeps shooting out its rays

Let it be for love

That the Lord above keeps counting out the days

Let it be for love

That the moon once surrendered her own light

So humankind could rest

And get some sleep at night

Let it be for love

That the world keeps spinning on its axis

Let it be for love

People of the lie

Are allowed to continue their evil practices

Let it be for love

That the rain keeps falling to the ground

And the mist keeps rising up

So the lost can still be found

Let it be for us

Let it be for them

For the women

And the men

For the old and the young

For this sacred continuum

Let it be for love

That the stars still twinkle in the sky

A million light years after they’ve died

Let it be for love

That the heart breaks in its shell

Let it be for love

That we’ll always have the choice

Of heaven or hell

Let it be for hope

Where there’s none

For the things we’ve left undone

Let it be for love

Let it be for love

Let it be for love

Let it be for love

Let it be for love

Let it be for love

How can the moon be ubiquitous

So steadfast in the light she shares

When I’ve driven for over an hour?

I could almost believe she cares

I could almost believe she cares
