Fireflies    
     
In these, my darkest times
Feeling the world’s gone blind
Oh, how I need to find
The place where light’s gone

Illuminate me
Oh, embrace me
Something has saved me

Even if it’s just fireflies

Too many people with blinders on
Never even know when the race is done
But you opened up the shades
Showed me how to walk away

You light up the night like fireflies
Show me the world through brand new eyes

There’s nothing I could say
Words just get in the way
We don’t need to speak at all
Not at all

SOLO

So many people dropping pennies in a well
What they’re wishing for, I can never tell
Just more things to clutter up the dark
When all we need is just one spark
Too many people bet the long odds every time
Never seeing why they’re down to their last dime
But you said to give yourself
Share your light with someone else

You light up the night like fireflies
Show me the world through brand new eyes
