The sky lights up like a butter cup
 Filled full with fire flies
 Dreaming of days
 When they were not slaves
 To the cruelty of kids
 And I suffer with the thunder
 As it rolls across the wind
 Winning over the pain
 Of being so plain
 And I suffer in sorrow
 Wishing I could just leave tomorrow
 Open the lid of my life
 To let those fire flies fly free
 Hoping the hurt that now haunts me
 Will escape beneath their tiny wings
