Apollo's Apprentice - Fireflies Lyrics

Are you trying your best
Because you look underdressed
I've seen this tale before
The hopeful screams for more
The fireflies bring down
The satellites that burn the world around you
And the lights have always been dim
And the lights have always been fading
(I've told you time after time)
And the lights have always been dim
And the lights have always been fading
(So put your dreams to one side)
You'll never burn quite as bright as the fireflies at night.
But if your hopes are in sight
And all your dreams are still alive
Then hold on, hold on
Hold on one day your time will come
And the fireflies bring down the satellites
That would dash your dreams and set the world alight
And the words you hear that made you shake in fear
So you're kicking around in the same old ground
And it weighs you down, as you start to drown
See your name in lights but glass begins to fly
And in time that's when you find
And the lights have always been dim
And the lights have always been fading
(I've told you time after time)
And the lights have always been dim
And the lights have always been fading
(So put your dreams to one side)
You'll never burn quite as bright as the fireflies at night.
