Si Las Luciérnagas Nos Dan Su Luz

If the Fireflies Give Us Their Light
I see thousands of soldiers marching by
all wounded in the heart;
they can't remember who shot them
and they don't know if the war is over
if it was lost or if it was won
if it was lost or if it was won
I see a ship sinking in the mist
its only crew is the future
Let me think a little more slowly
I’m starting to doubt if it really happened
if it was at sea or if it was in a puddle
if it was at sea or if it was in a puddle
Confused by the echoes
fooled by the shadows
I write verses to the flies
if the fireflies give me their light.
Some see God, others see aliens
but no one shows me their picture
I see this song slipping through my fingers
it's late and I still wonder:
What’s true, what’s a lie
what’s true, what’s a lie.
Hurry up if it’s dark
what was blue is now gray
and write names on the walls
if the fireflies give you their light
What’s true, what’s a lie
what’s true, what’s a lie.
I poison myself with the breeze
What did you poison yourself with?
We’ll search for the seeds
if the fireflies give us their light.
