Sleeping on the Moon By: Roshanda Johnson  

You and I With open eyes  

Pray the Lord our souls to keep  

After we pray Let’s slip away Soon as the house is fast asleep   Put on your robe  

Tip on your toes Gently to the roof we’ll climb And we both know  Where we will go I’ll take your hand and you’ll take mine   Let’s lift our arms Embrace life’s charm Up and away we will fly free  Through the stars And around Mars To a place made just for you and me   We’ll dance and sing  

On Saturn’s rings Jupiter is the place to play We’ll split between us  A cake on Venus With frosting from the Milky Way Let’s do judo  Up on Pluto  

Drink milk shakes on Jupiter’s moons Let’s take a sail On a comet’s tail  Then ice skate all across Neptune  

 We’ll sight see On Mercury Then morning will be coming soon  When you and I  

Get sleepy eyes We’ll go to sleep on God’s great moon
