Lyric

To call it a "light" would be far too grand

Too fragile to notice, too small to withstand

That’s exactly who I am in your world, you see

It makes no difference if you’re here with me

If I told you the truth of this heart on my sleeve

You’d only be startled, you’d never believe

Your eyes don’t find me, they don’t even try

I’m a transparent ghost, just passing you by

A single firefly swaying in the gloom

The kind of light that fills your heart’s room

You’d find it in an instant, you’d chase it away

With a smile on your face at the end of the day

Even if it’s faint, even if it’s small

To you, that ghost of a light is everything, after all

To call it a "dream" would be far too frail

A story so brittle, it’s destined to fail

To me, you are elusive, a mystery untold

More fleeting than a bubble I’m trying to hold

You wander through memories, through days that have passed

Locking up the sorrows you hope will not last

Your heart is a prisoner, trapped in the haze

In the ghost of a vision from better days

Trapped in the illusion

Caught in the "what used to be."

And there’s no room left inside for a man like me

A single firefly swaying in the gloom

The one you still embrace in your silent room

Even if it’s faint, even if it’s small

It lights up your world, standing proud and tall

More than my presence, more than my breath

That pale, distant light is your life and your death

Invisible to you

Just a firefly in the dark

I'm still here
