Flicker, Flicker,
Little Firefly
Flit about and show us why
Why you dance and sing
Flicker about in the night
Show us the way, show us your light
Illuminate the world around you
Give it beauty, with all of your might
Flicker, Flicker,
Little Firefly
Give the world a new mystique
Show us knights and dragons by the fire
Show us lost souls, empires and creatures
Dimly by the fire
Tell your story, come with me
We shall live together and be free
We shall dance in the pale moonlight on your wings
After the flame has long been snuffed
Even with the changing tides
You shall here remain,
My little Firefly.

We shall dance in the pale moonlight on your wings
After the flame has long been snuffed

You shall here remain,
My little Firefly.
Just a cutsie little thing. I imagined an enchanted forest glowing with lightning bugs, magical and beautiful in the summer twilight.
