Hart became an instant hit with his rebellious looks, and his first album released in 1983 First Offense, featuring the hit song Sunglasses at Night. The album sold well in both Canada and the United States. The follow-up album was Boy in the Box in 1985, another very successful album featuring the song Never Surrender, which would be his highest-charting single. Hart would continue to record music, but his commercial success was significantly reduced after Box.
Today, Hart lives in the Bahamas with his wife, musician Julie Masse, and their four children.
Water From the Moon
Corey Hart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I called to my dreams
Prayed to a God that would know
Said I'd walk a thousand miles
To take one step
When does your vision show?
Then one day I found myself lost in the sand
The innocent, so wise, claim that soon
You can draw your water from the moon
You can draw your water from the moon
Now I see the sunlight
And it's shinin' in my eyes
Will I keep the distance from the shore?
Understand the mystery
That I tried to ignore
Now I say, now I say no more
Prophet told the blind man that one's hope
Something that you cannot see
Take your right of passage through the dune
Where you can draw your water from the moon
You know you can draw your water from the moon
Now I see the sunlight and it's shinin' in my eyes
Will I keep the distance from the shore?
I understand the mystery that I tried to ignore
Now I say, now I say no more
When I was a young boy I prayed to my dreams
Through melody and rhyming words
Whenever I must face days of gloom
I can draw my water from the moon
You know, I can draw my water from the moon
Tu peut décrocher la lune
Tu peut décrocher la lune
I've drawn my water from the moon
'Cause you can draw your water from the moon
I said I've drawn my water from the moon
The lyrics of Corey Hart's song Water From the Moon are introspective and contemplative. The song begins with the singer reminiscing about his childhood when he used to pray to a god that would know his dreams. He talks about his willingness to walk a thousand miles to take one step, indicating his determination to achieve his goals. However, he does not know when his vision would manifest. Later, he found himself lost in the sand, staring at the stars. The wise and innocent claim that soon one could draw water from the moon, signifying that something impossible could become possible. The idea of drawing water from the moon is symbolic, referring to the idea of achieving the impossible.
The song progresses, and the singer recognizes the sunlight shining in his eyes, indicating a newfound understanding of his goals and objectives. However, he questions whether he would keep his distance from the shore or embrace the possibilities. The singer understands the mystery he tried ignoring before, and he now says no more. He refers to the prophet telling the blind man that hope is something you cannot see, and one must take the right of passage through the dune, denoting the idea of taking risks to achieve one's goals. The song concludes with the singer accepting that he can now draw his water from the moon, indicating that he has achieved what was once impossible.
In summary, Corey Hart's song Water from the Moon is a reflective song that speaks to the idea of perseverance and the achievement of the impossible.

@Spiggy78 I think the point was sort of like squeezing blood from a turnip, or finding inspiration from unlikely sources, but in the scientific context they actually did find ice on the moon recently.
