Story Behind The Song

Rainy night. Midtown Manhattan. Crying in a 10x15 apartment. REALLY grateful to have someone in my life who made me happy.

Song Description

When life gets tough, it's so beautiful to have someone there who makes you feel like everything's ok.

Lyrics

CRADLE THE MOON
© 2005 Cassandra Kubinski

VERSE It?s more than a storm
My life hurricane
It?s all slipping through my hands
Like teardrops and rain.

I passed by a church,
Stood silent outside,
A bus and a puddle met?
I just broke down and cried.

CHORUS And I get so defeated, just tryin? to hold on
When I can?t hold my head up, my spirit is gone,
Then I come home to you, when I?m safe in your arms,
I can hold the sun, and CRADLE THE MOON.

VERSE I get so tense
You show me a place
A place I can balance out
My grit and my grace

CHORUS I am tangled in skyscrapers, stuck on the ground
And I can?t hold my head up from feeling so down
But I come home to you, you remind me of how
I can hold the sun, and CRADLE THE MOON.

BRIDGE Oh, how you comfort me!
Do you know what that means to me?
When all of my dreams seem stuck behind bars
You give me the stars!

CHORUS And I get so defeated, just tryin? to hold on
When I can?t hold my head up, my spirit is down
I?m still holding on to what my life ought to be
But I can barely hold on to my sanity
But it never fails, baby, you?re always there showing me
I can hold the sun, I can hold the sun, I can hold the sun
And CRADLE THE MOON.
