Line by Line Meaning
Mama told me 'bout the man on the moon
My mother told me a story about the man who lived on the moon
Dancing with the stars and soaring with the dunes
He danced among the stars and flew across the sandy hills
Everything was possible up on his silver spoon
In his magical world, anything could be achieved with ease
Every night he wished upon a shooting star
He would express his deepest desires every time a shooting star crossed his sky
For someone to come and take him away so far
He prayed for someone to come and take him away to a distant place
He didn't know who, but he knew someone was out there
He was unaware of who that person would be, but he had unwavering faith that someone would come to rescue him
Who's gonna tell him it's not fair?
Who would inform him that life isn't always just and kind?
Maybe he just doesn't care
Perhaps he has chosen not to focus on this aspect of reality, or it does not bother him as much.
'Cause nobody's ever seen him cry, cry, yeah
The man on the moon remains a mystery, as nobody has witnessed him shedding a tear
Nobody's ever heard him scream scream
Similarly, no one has ever heard him screaming, as if he is willingly living in a silent dream
Maybe he just never dreamed dreamed
It's possible that he lives such an enchanted life and has no need to dream
Or maybe he's just like you and just like me, yeah
The possibility exists that he is a reflection of us, being human at the core.
