Moon Song

Two bodies in the sky carry the whole argument here: "You are the sun / I am the moon / I come alive because of you." The moon makes no light of its own, and Gungor lets that fact become a confession. Everything the singer reflects was first given, and the image is so plain that it works as both a love song and a prayer.

The second half turns from the sky to the distance between two hearts. Love "will swim the oceans deep and blue" and "sail across the sky 'til the sky is through," crossing "the space of solitude" to reach the one it is after. That pursuit runs one way, from the greater to the lesser, which gives the verses a gospel shape without a single doctrinal word. The line "The separate two become the whole" closes the gap the earlier verses keep measuring.

Read devotionally, it echoes the idea that love begins with God rather than with us, and that a life lit by him shines because of him, not by its own effort. The repeated chorus is almost a lullaby, which suits a song about resting in a source.
