Close my hands around the bug
It's tiny wings tickle and tug
The little lantern thing lit my way
It held on tightly with a hug
I love watching them fly free
It's like I've opened a new part of me
When they have been at your expense
The world seems to drift slowly
I've met so many of these
They know me as they drift in the breeze
They are the one with night sky
They are one with the floating leaves
The kind of remind me why
Why the world was meant to be
