the fireflies



The fireflies
It makes the darkness glow
It makes the children want to play
In the shadows of the night

Put the fireflies in the bottles
It will glow to guide along
Along the dark roads of the villages
Those were the years disappeared

The trees all gone
The habitats destroyed
The fireflies of my time
It is just a memory in my mind

The fun of those years
Living free in the villages
The weather was cool
The night to stare at the stars

When developments came
The trees all gone as well
Standing up the roads and houses
Nothing would be the same again

The fireflies disappeared
There was no guiding light
On the road the street lights
The modern fireflies
