Fireflies

"I guess everyone needs to be reminded that they will not always be a blazing fire to people. Sometimes all we are is a firefly with our light blinking on and off. But we need to remember that even though fireflies are tiny they still stand out against the night. . . . Shine your light no matter how small it might be."  Elder David Hampton

With a few more sticks and a spark,
Fires bring heat and light.
They crackle and pop as smoke goes up,
They could light up any night.

But we don't have to be like fires,
Our lights might be small winks.
Often we are like fireflies
As our lights flicker and blink.

(Chorus) Shine your light out to the world,
You're a special firefly,
God prepares the way for you,
It's your time to shine.

This is our destiny,
As we shine our light.
Blinking on and off always,
We'll light up the night!

(Bridge) Look around.
Other fireflies can be found.
Wait and see.
What our lights, together, will be.
Shine above!
Bringing the world Gods love.
We're His little fireflies, 
His light is shining in our eye,
Let's shine out His light!

If you want something to last forever,
Treat it differently 
Treasure up and feed your light
And never stop shinning!

(Chorus) Shine your light out to the world,
You're a special firefly,
God prepares the way for you,
It's your time to shine.
