The Minnesota Child - Fireflies Lyrics

Are we broken as we go
Cracks in pavement, rusted metal, old souls
Our swollen hearts beat slow
Dusty corners, locked closets, creased folds

Are we singing the same song
Tired pages, twisted lyrics, cold prose
Joni's circle turns slow
Soon forgotten which direction to go

Ooh, we need light
Ooh, we are fireflies
Ooh, we need light

In good time we may see
From the mountain, to the river, to the sea
Hear the whispers as they speak
Of what we need
What we need
What we need
What we need

Ooh, we need light
Ooh, we are fireflies
Ooh, we need light
We need light
We are fireflies

Are we broken as we go
Cracks in pavement, rusted metal, old souls
