Fireflies

[Intro]
(Air raid!
Get to the shelter, quickly!
It looks like a firefly
Yeah

Don't worry, ok?
But where's mama?
Why, she's at the shelter

Was my dads ship sunk too?
Please tell me!
Is that why he hasn't written?

How the hell should I know?
Crazy kid)

[Verse 1]
Thousands of little bright spots, that light up the sky
First seem like falling stars, that are shining oh so bright

Mother and father taken by war
The Father in battle, the mother lost in the fire raining down on their village

Those firebombs, those falling stars, ingrained in their retinas
To her it seemed like fireflies falling into grass

Left all alone in a now darker world
Their little voices left unheard
Their hunger left unsatisfied
Lost and terrified

[Pre-Chorus]
In a world full of darkness and sorrow
There unfolds a tragic lullaby
Robbed of their childhood, robbed of their innocence
Brother and sister fighting for their lives

Even in the darkest nights
There's a light

[Chorus]
Amidst the chaos shines a light
So full of hope, and full of love
Flickering like stars, shining bright
Guiding them through the night
Don't worry child, it'll be alright
Just always follow the fireflies

[Verse 2]
(Watcha doin'?
Making a grave
Mama's in a grave too)

Through shattered dreams and broken homes, they wander far and wide
Their footsteps echo in the silence, as they search for a place to hide

Whispers of hope, carried by the wind
Their souls intertwined
With hearts that ache and tears uncried
They're fueled by a love that won't subside

Hand in hand, they face the trials ahead
Bound by love, they'll conquer the dread
With every step, they refuse to let go
Together, they'll find a way to grow

[Breakdown]
In the midst of the storm, they find solace
In the whispers of the wind, a guiding voice
They'll rise above the ashes, rise above the pain
Embracing the fireflies' gentle flame

[Pre-Chorus]
In a world full of darkness and sorrow
There unfolds a resilient symphony
They carry the memories, they carry the pain
Brother and sister, side by side they'll persist

Even in the darkest nights
There's a light

[Chorus]
Amidst the chaos shines a light
So full of hope, and full of love
Flickering like stars, shining bright
Guiding them through the night
Don't worry child, it'll be alright
Just always follow the fireflies

[Outro]
In our hearts shines the eternal light
The eternal light
