Story Behind The Song
The inspiration for this song came to me during several recent dark episodes in my life.
Song Description
The song is about one's inherant ability to overcome darkness by the light that exists from within (the soul). Even as a firefly has an inner light that shines for all to see, so to do we.

Lyrics
Firefly
Robert O'Brien - 2002
INTRO
Ignite the night with light - Fire-fly!
VERSE 1
When the darkness falls on you - and you don't know what to do - no!
Just remember who you are, deep inside! inside, inside, inside
When it feels you, you are through - when all hope's gone, there's nothin' left for you
Just remember you were born, with wings of light! of light, of light, of light!
Get Ready - To Fly!
CHORUS
You are light, you are free, Spread your wings of light, You are a firefly!
Firefly - firefly, Fly away, - fly away
Spread your wings take flight,
You are a firefly!
VERSE 2
Never feel that you're too small - you're a star from heaven, after all,
You wear a crown of light, lift your head up high! so high, so high, so high!
When they try to put you down - when real love cannot be found,
You're worth more than you know - you got a soul of light! - of light, of light, of light!
Get Ready - To Fly!
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
Pierce the night, with your light, you're a star shining bright, spread your wings of light, you are a firefly!
Firefly, fly so high, turn the darkness to light, spread your wings of light you are a firefly! (2x)
Fire-fly, break the chains of darkness that bind you, fly! Where the darkness can't hurt you no more!
Fly away-a-a-a-a-a-a-a, oh-oh, oh-oh,
(Fly - be free!)
REPEAT CHORUS
FADE OUT
END
