Sometimes the flame is just a flicker Barely enough to warm the dream Before you turn away, look up The stars are closer than they seem Look at me, I'm livin' proof I'm a man on the moon I'm a jet in the sky I'm standin' here Another wild idea come true I am you... A man on the moon A night like this who could imagine As distant as the Milky Way Only a fool would dare believe it I believed it anyway I'm a man on the moon I'm a jet in the sky I'm standin' here Another wild idea come true I am you... A man on the moon Broken down in the dark Trippin' to your knees Love defies, love don't know no gravity Take a hopeless dream and give it wings Look at me, I'm livin' proof I'm a man on the moon I'm a jet in the sky I'm standin' here Another wild idea come true I am you, I am you, and I am you... A man on the moon
