Lyrics
Verse:
There's a boy running fast
Through the tall moonlit grass
Wide-eyed with fear and with wonder
In the branches of oak and the shadows of pine
As he spends his way up high and down under
Chorus:
He follows in the night
The sparkles in the breeze
Dancing underneath the sky
Even though he's scared of the darkness everywhere
He's chasing after fireflies
Verse:
Now watching and shaking the flash in his jar
He marvels as he sets it free
If he'll catch just a moment of magic and light, it's worth all of the danger there might be
Bridge:
One spark in a deep dark night
Can bring this boy, such sweet delight
Verse 3:
The dream now forgotten
The strange lovely tune
The word on the tip of her tongue
From out of the blackness and out of the gloom
Here for an instant then gone
Chorus 3:
For in every heart is a child with a jar
Just chasing after fireflies (2x)
