Fireflies

(album: Captain ... Coast Is Clear - 2021)

You got everything you wanted
Is it everything you need?
Does it really make you happy?
Does it make you feel complete?
Have you ever tried to listen
To the beating of your heart?
To the voices deep inside of you
That tell you who you are
Can't you see the fireflies

Say can't you see them?
They're burning out beneath the skies
They flash and sparkle and they glow
With their own living light
They drift around the universe
Just for a moment in the night
Don't be like these fireflies
Shine bright on every day
Underneath the endless skies
Before you fly away
Again

You got everything you wanted
Is it everything you need?
Does it really make you happy?
Does it make you feel complete?
Have you ever tried to listen
To the beating of your heart?
To the voices deep inside of you
That tell you who you are
Can't you see the fireflies?

See how they are
Don't you see them?
They are burning out beneath the skies
