Fireflies
Verse 1
You would not believe your eyes
If you saw a thousand fireflies
Lighting up the night sky
And providing comfort for passers-by
You often wonder why you don't have the ability to fly
You dream of having wings
You dream of soaring way up high
If there was a way to transform yourself into a firefly
You certainly wouldn't hesitate
You'd give it a try
Verse 2
Stadiums and skyscrapers would be in your line of view
You'd get to travel the world
And rest comfortably on trees
No fear of bodies of water
No fear of earthly disasters
Being complete and free seems to be an impossibility
Some challenges appear to be insurmountable
So transforming yourself into a firefly
Is what you'd like to try
Bridge
Brighten dark skies (repeat 4 times)
Chorus
You used to believe that people could change for the better
Now that you're wiser, you know they can't and they won't
So you long to be a firefly
Being able to possess the power to beautify the darkness
Is what you'd like to hold forever-more
So you long to be a firefly
