Flickering lanterns dazzling the skies
Drifting, drifting…so… high… (yea yea yea…)
I watch them dance in the night
See them light up the twilight…
They remind me of stars in the sky,
Glimmering so high out of reach…
It's so dazzling I feel like I could part the seas,
But the waves would come crashing down…
And I fall back and hit the ground…
I open my eyes and see them again…
The lights sent down from heaven…
As they flicker I feel their warmth,
They uplift and save my soul (ohhhh oh ooh oh)
I sit and watch… in the dark…
As they swirl around… I feel a spark…
A fragment of a memory…
It floats around in my unconscious sea…
I see a fire blazing far away from me…
The ashes swirling like fireflies full of glee
It fills me up with joy…
With all my friends by my side…
As we enjoy this beautiful sight,
The fireflies dancing in the night…
I'll always have memories…
And I'll always look back,
We were all so happy and free
Watching fireflies by the sea…
Watching the fireflies… by the sea…
