Fireflies Song Lyrics
Fireflies by Peter Brown Thereâs 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
He sees phantoms way up high and down under
He follows in the night
The sparkles in the breeze
Dancing underneath the sky
Even though heâs scared of the darkness everywhere
Heâs chasing after fireflies
Yes, even though heâs scared of the darkness everywhere
Heâs chasing after fireflies
Now watching and shaking the flash in his jar
He marvels as he sets it free
Cusâ he catch just a moment of magic in light
Is worth of all the danger there might be
He follows in the night
The sparkles in the breeze
Dancing underneath the sky
Even though heâs scared of the darkness everywhere
Heâs chasing after fireflies
Yes, even though heâs scared of the darkness everywhere
Heâs chasing after fireflies
One spark in a deep dark night can bring this boy such sweet delight
The dream now forgotten
The strange lovely tune
The word on the tip of the tongue
From out of the blackness and out of the blue
Is here for an instant in dawn
He follows in the night
The sparkles in the breeze
Dancing underneath the sky
For in every heart is a child with a jar
Chasing after fireflies
Still chasing after fireflies
