Backstory:
I wrote this after the tragedy in Haiti. It touched me so. I am linking fireflies to people who have a light in them, and are willing to help mankind. I hope this song will touch others. Thank you for your consideration.
Special Thanks to Jim Merrilees for his vocals on this song.

Lyrics:
Send Fireflies
Kimberly Kime © 2009 BMI
We toss the times in the bin today
Ignore what the headlines say
Too many lives to save anyway
We pull the wool
We’re not compelled to plant a seed
Live in a mindset of greed
‘Cause all is good, if we succeed
Our cups are full
We place possessions on display
Wrap words in promises and sad cliché’s
We’re not in the mood anyway
For more bad news
We turn our eyes from broken lands
Draw our lines in the sand
Not willing to lend a hand
Or get a clue
Chorus
Who will save the day?
Who will light our way?
Who will set the path ablaze?
Push beyond halfway?
Can’t we see that talk is cheap
And there’s nothing left to say
Send fireflies, send fireflies
Send fireflies to light the way
Send fireflies, send fireflies
Send fireflies to light the way
Short musical interlude
Bridge
In other lands tonight, a million tears will be shed
As souls in utter darkness wait for news
I wonder to myself as I lie in a warm bed
Will I shine my little light or hide it from view?
Repeat Chorus
Tag
Who’s gonna save the day?
Who’s gonna light our way?
Right a few wrongs
if the fireflies are gone?
Send Fireflies end Fireflies
Send fireflies to light the way
Send fireflies Send fireflies
Send fireflies to light the way (fading out)
