Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] With the sky painted in [G] hues of red and blue,
[D] Fireflies dance in the [Em] twilight view.
[C] We’re caught in a moment, [G] lost in time,
[D] Whispering secrets in [Em] rhythm and rhyme.
(Chorus)
[G] Fireflies in twilight, [D] dance to the beat,
[Em] Glowing in rhythm, [C] in an endless repeat.
[G] Lost in the cosmos, [D] under the night,
[Em] They are the keepers, [C] of the dimming light.
(Verse 2)
[C] As the moon takes over the [G] sun’s golden reign,
[D] The world transforms under [Em] the night’s domain.
[C] The stars whisper stories, [G] in the vast night sky,
[D] While we’re grounded, [Em] asking the reason why.
(Chorus)
[G] Fireflies in twilight, [D] they know the way,
[Em] Guiding us gently, [C] through the night’s array.
[G] Amidst the darkness, [D] they bring the light,
[Em] They are the keepers, [C] of the peaceful night.
