Sometimes I wish I could be what you are, so I could be alone.

Well I’m alone in this jail cell but I want to be free.

Only come out at night because I’m the light that brightens up the streets.

Everyone looking up at me, instead of looking down.

Because I did this crime no one wants me around.

Moon, you are so amazing, I get jealous at times.

I envy the way you just stay in the sky

If I had one wish I would wish to be you

Well Moon this is Jerome number 1831422

Sincerely,

Jerome Barr
