Orange Moon Lyrics

I'm an Orange Moon
I'm an Orange Moon
Reflecting the light of the Son

Many nights he was alone
Many, many, many nights
His light was so bright that they turned away
And he stood alone
Every night and every day
Then he turned to me
He saw his reflection in me
And he smiled at me when he turned to me
Then he said to me

How good it is, how good it is (x2)

I'm an Orange Moon
I'm brighter than before
Brighter than ever before
I'm an Orange Moon and I shine so bright
Cos I reflect the light of my Son
I praise the day, he turned my way
And smiled at me
He gets to smile and I get to be orange
That I love to be

How good it is, how good it is (x4)

Shine so bright
He ruled the day, I ruled the night
Shine, shine, shine

How good it is, how good it is (x4)
How good he is, how god is
How good it is, how good it is
How good it is, how god is
How good it is, how good it is

I'm an orange moon
I'm brighter than before, brighter
Reflecting the light of the Son
Smile at me

Being able to see and appreciate the true beauty of another soul (especially those that others are blind to) makes you, yourself, even more beautiful. When these kinds of people combine, it's a recipe for true, deep love.

Orange Moon” is a song written by Eyrkah Badu, a world renowned Neo-Soul artist. This song is about parent-hood and how good it is to be loved by your new born child. This enchanted melancholy melodic song is chop- full of metaphors representing the natural and authentic connection that a new born baby has with their mother. The main focal point and message in this song is that she is the “Orange Moon” and her son “Seven” is the Sun and the reason why she is orange is because she reflects light of the Sun. She also says that she’s a “Orange Moon” she brighter than before meaning she wasn’t as bright before she had seven, and whenever he smiles at her se becomes more orange. Orange is a metaphor for the energy she receives from her son Seven.
