| When we were youngin's | |
| We used to play all day | |
| Lord and when the night came | |
| Oh, them lights would dance away | |
| Oh so good, so warm, it felt to play | |
| Like being in your mama's arms, so safe | |
| Where did all the fireflies go? | |
| Hold your breath | |
| No more movement in the night | |
| Where did all the fireflies go? | |
| I heard someone say | |
| They ain't never coming back | |
| Running wild, feeling oh so free | |
| Trying to light the night up | |
| With the fire inside of me | |
| Oh them lights Lord, they let me be me | |
| Where did all the fireflies go | |
| Where did they go? | |
| Where did all the fireflies go? | |
| Hold your breath | |
| No more movement in the night | |
| Where did all the fireflies go? | |
| I heard someone say | |
| They ain't never coming back |
