7 year-old orphan. Lonely, cold. So is his step-mom + step-brother.
There's no one here
Even the sky is so clear
I look at the bright Moon
which will not go away that soon

before I know, I start talking to it
because I feel hurt
After I know, it starts listening to me
and nothing of it is absurd :

I was never a boon
you know, Dear Moon

Mother, she beats me when I call her "Mummy"
I love her but she doesn't seems to love-me
Dear Moon, I don't want to run away
but is it true what they say?
Am I not their son?
Am I something to abandon?

Mother, she never addresses me
the way she does Laurence
Mother, if she'd only tell me
what really is my offence?

Oh I try not to cry
or even not to lie

I try to be brave
but Laurence says I'm naive
He also says a lot of bad things
which a brother shouldn't, by any means

Dear Moon, I feel so lonely
All I want is a family only
but they always leave me alone
Just me and myself to moan

Why do they do that?
I couldn't be that bad

And now I don't want to cry
but the tears simply pour out by

Dear Moon, as I sniff
I wonder if
you also feel the same way
but then, you won't want to run away

for wherever you'll run away to
I'll always be able to find you

And now I'm feeling tired and creepy
It's nothing but just the reapin'
before I go away,
All that I'd want to say, is:
Please give me some time
for whatever they say, is my crime

In the end, I promise
I won't cry
but rather sigh
