Fireflies
McKenna Lori Lyrics

Before you met me I was a fairy princess
I was living my life with wonder and whimsy, seeing the magic in everything.

I caught frogs and called them prince
I found beauty in unlikely things and believed in the extraordinary.

And made myself a queen
I saw myself as deserving of grandeur and royalty, even in the most mundane moments.

And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
My imagination allowed me to explore far beyond my surroundings and see the world in a different light.

And I slept in castles
I created my own grandeur and wonder, transcending the limitations of reality.

And fell in love
I was open to the beauty of the world and the endless possibilities of love and connection.

Because I was taught to dream
I was raised to believe in the power of imagination and the endless possibilities of what we can create.

I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
I saw the world in unexpected ways and found magic in the smallest details.

To capture Tinkerbell
I believed in the impossible and sought to make it a reality.

And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
What seemed ordinary to others was magical to me because of my unique perspective.

But I could always tell
I saw beauty where others did not because of my belief in the extraordinary.

Cause I believe in fairytales
I hold onto the magic of fairy tales, even in a world that can be harsh and unforgiving.

And dreamer's dreams
I believe in the power of our dreams and imagination to shape our reality.

Like bedsheet sails
I see possibility everywhere, even in the most ordinary things.

And I believe in Peter Pan
I hold onto the magic of childhood and the idea that anything is possible.

And miracles, anything I can to get by
I believe in the power of miracles and do whatever it takes to keep the magic alive in my life.

And fireflies
I find magic in even the smallest and most mundane things, seeing the world in a different light.

Now before I grew up I saw you on a cloud
Before the harsh realities of life set in, I saw the magic and beauty in everything, even in the clouds.

And I could bless myself in your name
I believed in the power of blessings and magic, seeing it in everything around me.

And pat you on your wings
I saw beauty and wonder in everything, even in the wings of an imaginary creature.

Well life is hard and so is love
As I grew older, I began to see the harsh realities of life, but I still held onto my belief in magic and imagination.

Child, believe in all these things
I encourage others to hold onto their belief in the extraordinary, even in a world that can be harsh and unforgiving.
