Moon And Sun

I look to the sun

That shines before me

So happy and bright

And blinding to see

It looks just so happy

Sitting up there

Like a gem in the sky

Who is kind and fair

But then looking at me

I don't stand out at all

I just stand there ceaselessly

Trying to look tall

I'm not as bright

Or as happy as he

But I am myself

And I'm happy being me

Sure I'm not as pretty

And sure I don't stand out

But people still look

Whenever I'm about

They like to look at my craters

And the man in my face

I drew all attention

In a national race

I was studied and drawn

And wrote about and sung

About how I glowed in the twilight

Which made it sound fun

But I still will never be

The one gem in the sky

No matter how long

Or hard I might try

I will never shine as beautifully

I will never give so much life

But I will see the happiness

In the face that never has strife

For in my life

Have I never met

Such a beautiful thing

As the sun when I set

It shines just bright enough

For all eyes to admire the beauty

That I'm lucky enough

To be able to see

But the sun always seems troubled

For whatever reason

It could be me

And my jealous feelings

My jealous feelings

About how he shines so bright

And how he is there in the day

While I am stuck in the night

But I can never be there

Lighting up the sky

I can only hang in the dark

Where I won't attract an eye

But I am happy being me

For I am like no one else

And I am special

For being myself
