The Whole Of The Moon
Jennifer Warnes Lyrics

I pictured a rainbow
I imagined a colorful and bright future

You held it in your hands
You were able to turn those imaginings into reality.

I had flashes
I briefly saw glimpses of greatness

You saw the plan
You were able to see the full scope of what needed to be done to achieve greatness.

I wandered out in the world for years
I spent years searching and exploring for my dreams.

While you just stayed in your room
You didn't stray far from your goals, focusing all your energy on achieving them.

I saw the crescent
I saw only a small part of what was possible.

You saw the whole of the moon
You saw the full potential of what could be, and were able to reach it.

The whole of the moon
You were able to achieve your full potential.

You were there in the turnstiles
You showed up, ready to take on any challenges that came your way.

With the wind at your heels
You were energized and propelled forward towards your goals.

You stretched for the stars
You were not afraid to dream big.

And you know how it feels
You were able to achieve those dreams and goals.

To reach too high
You went beyond what others thought was possible.

Too far
You went the distance, surpassing all obstacles.

Too soon
You were able to achieve greatness in a shorter amount of time than others thought possible.

You saw the whole of the moon
You were able to see the full potential of what could be and reach it.

I was grounded
I was stuck in reality and couldn't see beyond what was in front of me.

While you filled the skies
You were able to soar above any obstacles in your path.

I was dumbfounded by truth
I couldn't believe that it was possible to reach such great heights.

You cut through lies
You didn't let anything get in the way of achieving your goals.

I saw the rain dirty valley
I only saw the challenges and obstacles in my path.

You saw "Brigadoon"
You were able to imagine and see beyond the present moment to a brighter future.

I spoke about wings
I talked about achieving great things.

You just flew
You were able to actually achieve those things.

I wondered, I guessed and I tried
I hoped and attempted to achieve my goals.

You just knew
You were confident in your goals and how to achieve them.

I sighed
I felt defeated and discouraged.

But you swooned
You were filled with joy and enthusiasm for your achievements.

The torch in your pocket
You kept your goals and ambitions close to your heart.

And the wind on your heels
You were driven forward by determination and enthusiasm.

You climbed on a ladder
You worked hard and diligently to achieve your goals.

And you know how it feels
You experienced the joy and satisfaction of achieving your goals.

Popcorn and cannonballs
Unexpected events and challenges.

All the season's fears
The worries and anxieties that come with each season and phase of life.

Trumpets, towers, and tenaments
Different aspects of life experiences.

Wide oceans full of tears
The struggles and emotions faced in life.

Flags, rags, ferryboats
More symbols of different life experiences.

Senators and scars
The ups and downs that come with public and private life.

Every precious dream and vision
All the hopes and aspirations for the future.

Underneath the stars
The limitless possibilities of the universe.

You climbed on a ladder
You worked hard and diligently to achieve your goals.

With the wind in your sails
You were driven forward by determination and enthusiasm.

You came like a comet
You shone brilliantly for a short but impactful time.

Blazing your trail
You left a lasting mark and showed others the way forward.

The whole of the moon
You were able to achieve your full potential.
