There's a place not far out of town Where you can find a bed for the night And when you lay your head on down The ceiling will start to rise above you
You'll begin to hear a gentle sound It's coming from the stars No, it's fireflies, dancing in the moonlight
They keep calling me Singing that beautiful sound And I cannot sleep They sing please set the world On fire, now Fire, now
When you think, think you've had enough Think you've had enough now You try and leave the room only to find The door has disappeared
So you break through the window Feel the pane, and then you start falling As fireflies dance in the moonlight
They keep calling me Singing that beautiful sound And I cannot sleep They sing please set the world On fire, now Fire, now
So far from home And I don't know Where I've been Or where I'm going to All through the night Fireflies are burning bright And burning true Oh I don't know what is true
Open your heart Let me out Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out Let me out, let me out, let me out
