Fireflies

Are you trying your best Because you look underdressed I've seen this tale before The hopeful screams for more The fireflies bring down The satellites that burn the world around you And the lights have always been dim And the lights have always been fading (I've told you time after time) And the lights have always been dim And the lights have always been fading (So put your dreams to one side) You'll never burn quite as bright as the fireflies at night. But if your hopes are in sight And all your dreams are still alive Then hold on, hold on Hold on one day your time will come And the fireflies bring down the satellites That would dash your dreams and set the world alight And the words you hear that made you shake in fear So you're kicking around in the same old ground And it weighs you down, as you start to drown See your name in lights but glass begins to fly And in time that's when you find And the lights have always been dim And the lights have always been fading (I've told you time after time) And the lights have always been dim And the lights have always been fading (So put your dreams to one side) You'll never burn quite as bright as the fireflies at night.
