Jack Frost
Who is Looking at the Moon Tonight?

Jack Frost

He's been again
In the night
Painting windows
Sparkling white

Silver trees
And frosty paths
Crystal footprints
Spiky grass

Spider's webs
Of wintry lace
Jack Frost's touch
In every place

Who is Looking at the Moon Tonight?

Do you ever wonder
When you look up at the sky
Who else is looking at the moon
As the night goes by?

Perhaps somewhere in a distant land,
Other children like to stand
And watch the moon high in the sky
As the night goes by.

If only you could hold their hand,
Another child in a distant land,
If only you could talk a while,
Perhaps together, laugh or smile.

Could the moon be watching you?
Smiling, as the moon can do,
Looking down on distant lands
Watching children holding hands.

Children of the world unite,
Stand together just one night.
Think of others, just like you,
Many children watching too.

The world becomes a smaller place
When children of a different race
Stand together for a while
Perhaps to talk, or laugh and smile.

Watch and wonder, by and by
Who is looking at the sky?
