Firefly

"Firefly, firefly, please give me light
You are the only one who can save us from this plight."

The little insect and the night flies – Shout out to me,
Every once in a while, when they are in flight, throughout the night.

"You are the saviour," they say
"You can lead the way.
No other bird or beast could guide us through the mist."

"So come little firefly, come to us,
Lead us on from dusk to dawn."
I hear these words, I turn around,
"My friend I am here, so have no fear."
