We are but a flicker of a firefly Burning up much quicker than a star falling through the sky Or the blink of an eye We are just passerbys So how will you light up the world oh firefly Oh Firefly the wonders of your blinking lights When they synchronize the meadows turn to starry nights And who am I but the aftermath of a confetti fight Of atoms tossed Happened to cross and align So you may as well shine like a firefly As you hover despite gravity I follow you Uncovering unraveling the darkness clue by clue Intermittent spotlights When we connect the dots right Into the moving constellations that guide our lives Oh Firefly the wonders of your blinking lights When they synchronize the meadows turn to starry nights And who am I but the aftermath of a confetti fight Of atoms tossed Happened to cross and align So you may as well shine like a firefly Is there a meaning to your morse code mystery How you syncopate your gleaming are you trying to make us see It's perfectly alright To be both shadows and the light It's the space that makes the beauty of the fireflies Oh Firefly the wonders of your blinking lights When they synchronize the meadows turn to starry nights And who am I but the aftermath of a confetti fight Of atoms tossed Happened to cross and align So you may as well shine like a firefly
