~ The Firefly's Song ~
I used to run in a young man's boots
With a young man's heart and a young man's roots
But, now I stand where a young man stood before
I don't run like I used to
This old man don't run no more
You used to talk and I used to nod
I don't listen, but I hear a lot
Don't believe for a second
That my key won't fit your door
I don't want ya like I use to
This old man wants you more
Hey, hidee ho
I used to go where the devil wouldn't go
Where the river runs still and the water don't flow
Heaven couldn't stop me then
Hey, hidee hi
Good lord willin’ and the creek don't rise
And life goes by like the fireflies
When the devil sits with a grin
I used to sing with a young man's voice
A young man's heart and a young man's choice
Hope my song is what you're longing for
I don't sing like I used to
Sometimes less is more
Hey, hidee ho
I used to go where the devil wouldn't go
Where the river runs still and the water don't flow
Heaven couldn't stop me then
Hey, hidee hi
Good lord willin’ and the creek don't rise
And life goes by like the fireflies
When the devil sits with a grin
Well, this crazy life is all we got
Like a shoestring tied in a beggar's knot
In the end that's what this story shows
I don't love ya like I used to
This old man loves you more
I don't love ya like I used to
This old man loves you more . . .

"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.
It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.
We should all be thankful for those people
who rekindle the inner spirit."
~Albert Schweitzer
