Write Your Name
Mona Moua Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll write your name
Across the sky
And take away the stars
'Cause you light up the night
You as high as the moon
When you're here with me
That's why I'm gonna write your name
For the world to see

Another old name on the porch with the bottle
Wind blows and the old rocking chair wobbles
Hes just the waving, everybody's welcome
All he can say about the youth is lord help 'em
Got a couple grand babies, but they never call though
Left 'em in the south and they moved to Chicago
Wife's in heaven and, hes saying ever since
Vietnam life's been hard as a veteran
Simple life, hit the six pack, yeah ice cold
Across the Georgia line for a ticket for the lotto
Probably never see his name in the headlines
But if I had a plane, I'd put it in the sky
Alabama

She's in love, yeah, friends call her crazy
Met him at a party, they started dating
Daddy's little angel, Momma's little lady
Only sixteen now Brenda's got a baby
She can't afford to, drop out of high school
Jimmy's not a man and he can't provide you
He doesn't want to, but you keep it anyhow
Nine months down the road, what you gonna do now
Go to the food stamp, office a-pply
You can find a job, it'll help you get by
And you made it when you didn't know how
Now that's a real star put her name in the clouds Alabama

You may never be on television or be the one
Your boss at work loves giving you employee of the month
May never be the first dream on a champion team
You may be the star the world just hasn't seen
But that don't make you any less of a star to God
Being rich is only realizing it's all a facade
You're richer than you think in that old small town
'Cause people like you make the world go round, Alabama

I'll write your name across the sky
And take away the stars cause you light up the night




Feel as high as the moon when you're here with me
That's why I'm gonna write your name for the world to see

Overall Meaning

In Mona Moua's song Write Your Name, the lyrics express the idea that everyone deserves to have their name in the sky, that they deserve recognition for the beauty they bring to the world. The song talks about different people, from an old man sitting on his porch drinking beer, to a young girl who finds herself pregnant and struggling to make ends meet. Each person is going through their life and facing different struggles, but the message of the song is that each of these people is deserving of recognition and respect.


The opening lines, "I'll write your name across the sky, and take away the stars, 'cause you light up the night," are particularly powerful. They suggest that the person being sung about is so important that the stars, the most beautiful things in the sky, should be removed to make room for their name. Later in the song, the lyrics reiterate that everyone is a star, that fame and fortune are not the only things that make someone great.


Overall, the song is a tribute to the people who are often overlooked, the people who don't necessarily make headlines or become famous, but who are still important and valuable. It's a reminder that sometimes the people who seem the least impressive are actually the most important and deserving of recognition.


Line by Line Meaning

I'll write your name
I promise to immortalize your name


Across the sky
I will ensure that your name remains visible to everyone


And take away the stars
Your brightness surpasses the stars, making them irrelevant


'Cause you light up the night
You bring warmth and brightness, making everything around beautiful


You as high as the moon
Being with you uplifts my spirit and makes me feel ecstatic


When you're here with me
Your presence brings about joy and happiness in my life


That's why I'm gonna write your name
I will document your greatness for the world to know


For the world to see
The world deserves to know and appreciate your greatness
