Moon & Back Lyrics
Little baby if you reading this
You probably you're grown the way most babies do
I'm sure your eyes still they're pretty blue
I'm writing to you from 1991
The year I gave you to a mamma, with a girl and son.
Please don't look at this like a hit in the heart
In a breath I felt you leaving like a setting sun
Life just thought that I should draw the shortest straw
But little baby for a short time I had you to break my fall
Fall
Your new daddy loves you too
To the moon and back he said
When I laid you in his arms
And he kissed your soft blonde head
Please don't look at this like a hit in the heart
In a breath I felt you leaving like a setting sun
Life just thought that I should draw the shortest straw
But little baby for a short time I had you to break my fall
Fall
Your new family knows
I did this all for you
Maybe one day you'll believe it too.
Please don't look at this like a hit in the heart
In a breath I felt you leaving like a setting sun
Life just thought that I should draw the shortest straw

Mackenzie explaining the meaning and story behind the song:
“‘Moon & Back’ was written from the perspective of my birth mother. I met her once; I believe I was 8. When I graduated from high school, my mom gave me a journal that my biological mother had written while she was pregnant with me. It was a tiny little spiral notebook. I read that and went to college and wrote “Moon & Back”. It was basically my perspective of her perspective when she wrote that journal.”
