Lyrics

The summer night was heavy, the air was hot and damp,
The moonlight through the branches, burned like a zebra's lamp.
The stars hung out behind the clouds, waiting for a chance,
To prove they weren't victims, of an evil circumstance.

And the trees began to rustle, when I heard a distant voice,
That weaved into my consciousness, as if I had no choice,
A voice that sounded tender, that came to me so clear,
A voice that wrapped around me, a voice that drew me near.
Firefly, firefly, buzzing 'round the evening sky,
Cast a spark to light my heart, my friend, firefly;
Firefly, firefly, I think I've gone astray,
Come and share your light with me, please show me the way.

The river ran and rippled, across the aged stones,
That were left from long ago, before my fate was known,
And sown into the fabric, of life's lottery,
That only now did cry out, yearning to be free.

Now I walk the woods at night, feel the breezes blow,
Looking for an answer, that I might never know,
So I lay my body down, looking for a sign,
To show me the direction, to the finish line,
Firefly, firefly, buzzing 'round the evening sky,
Cast a spark to light my heart, my friend, firefly;
Firefly, firefly, I think I've gone astray,
Come and share your light with me, please show me the way.
