Fireflies

(album: Life By Misadventure - 2021)

There's a world you don't see
Old man's tears for a young man's dreams
In my eyes, you're growing like the weeds
I can't decide if I'm you or if you're me

Don't let fear be a thorn in your side
Keep your eyes on the light
And let everyone know that you caught it
Like fireflies in the garden
Past the trees and the stones that were thrown
Walk the longest way home
And let everyone know they're invited
To see fireflies in the garden

One day it starts, we'll disappear
You might go away but you can always come back here
The seasons will change from golden to silver
Don't let time turn your heart into winter

Don't let fear be a thorn in your side
Keep your eyes on the light
And let everyone know that you caught it
Like fireflies in the garden
Past the trees and the stones that were thrown
Walk the longest way home
And let everyone know that you caught it
Like fireflies in the garden

Go where the sunlight meets the morning
Oh, dig till you find what you're looking for

Don't let fear be a thorn in your side
Keep your eyes on the light
And let everyone know that you caught it
Like fireflies in the garden
Past the trees and the stones that were thrown
Walk the longest way home
And let everyone know they're invited
To see fireflies in the garden

There's a world you don't see
Old man's tears for a young man's dreams
