Vow for a firefly
A poet with no voice
From the dark
Life shall rise again
I woke up this morning, just like any day
The weather is warm, the Sun shines up high
The place is calm, as it used to be
But now I am not supposed to cry
I still can move up and down
Try new things, walk around
Learn new skills, make them sound
It is not over yet, one more round
I sit beneath the Sun, feeling the breeze
Each minute is one I'm learning to seize
Nothing is going to hurt me now
I am making this vow
And I won't forget
I won't forget!
There is still fear, I live in the dark
But among my flowers I can see a spark
What's the reason I still face the truth?
The reason is you!
The reason is you!
After so much has been said
After so much has been done
Licking my wounds, they bled
Repairing my soul, flesh, and bone
If there is still a reason to fight
If there is still a way to the light
I will spit back the venom they made me ingest
I can still tumble down, but I won't fall fast
They can still see me ache and limp
It's not easy to stand strong as steel
But I won't allow them to take me down
I am making this vow
And I won't forget
I won't forget!
There is still fear, I live in the dark
But among my flowers I can see a spark
What's the reason I still face the truth?
The reason is you!
The reason is you!
Because you believe there is more in me
I can make it count, as long as you'll be
Waiting for me when the journey is over
Allow me in your shelter, under your cover
Their mercilessness drove me down here
But your eyes saw beyond my shattered skin
Gave me the right to a life, not to exist
And to honor your trust, I will resist
I can still be powerless, but I'm no weakling
Just need not to stall, not to go sinking
Gone are the days when I used to bow
I am making this vow
And I won't forget
I won't forget!
There is still fear, I live in the dark
But among my flowers I can see a spark
What's the reason I still face the truth?
The reason is you!
The reason is you!
There is still fear, I live in the dark
But among my flowers I can see a spark
What's the reason I still face the truth?
The reason is you!
The reason is you!
I can see it clear, as my tears are dry
Are you, in this black night, my firefly?
