[Verse 1: Adam WarRock]
And so it burns from the light of a Firefly
So small, when you consider it against the rest of the sky
The underdog, held together with tape and twine
Scrape together living on the outer limits of life
Just terraformed planets, worlds from rock and granite
Dirt and tumbleweeds blow, but nobody'll panic
Were it so quick that friends turned to enemies
I'm just trying to find my own dose of serenity
This is our new rebel alliance
2517, fight for your right for independence
Free from meddling from corporate heads
And just a chance to stretch imaginations wide, nobody can tell us
We make the music like they made the old west
Clans who stick together, succeed despite the stress
From trying to find a home amidst the wasteland you see
That you can't take the sky from me
[Hook]
It's like, take my love and take my land
Take me to a place where I cannot stand
I don't care, cause I'm still free
And you can't take the sky from me
It's like, take these words and take these beats
Take me to a place where the crowds fill the streets
I don't care, cause I'm always gonna dream
And you can't take the sky from me
[Verse 2]
And still it burns like the light of a Firefly
And our coats are brown and our eyes are wide
We walk that thin line between right and wrong
Sometimes you gotta bend the rules when you're out here this long
It's like the music to this song, yeah we sampled it
Cause we got a pure love for the culture, best believe that we're fans of it
Everything's shiny, everything is beautiful
This is fan culture told now in musical form
We hold a torch for the battle of Serenity Valley
We ride a horse as we're running from bandits and baddies
We try to help when there's people in need
All we ask for is space for our people to breathe
Please, maybe you weren't a fan of westerns or the Fox channel
Maybe you hated rap music, that's understandable
Maybe it opened your mind for all to see
And now the sky is a place where you long to be free
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
And it starts from the spark in the heart of a fan
And it moves to a fire, 'cross the woods in the land
And it lights up the night and you bathe in its warmth
And together we found eachother and still we find more
This the beauty of loving the things you love
Cause what started from a show went above
Found so many others, sisters and brothers from another mother
Together we huddled and we spoke to each other in a code so now you know
And I don't need no gorram critics and haters
All I need is a crew of these sinners and players
Cause adventures in the sky is like the dreams in our minds
And we hold the love close, feel it so deep inside
And still it burns like the light of a firefly
What started small spread wide over time
And it filled up the night sky it blew our minds
And this light will never die, no, never die...
And so it burns from the light of a Firefly
So small, when you consider it against the rest of the sky
The underdog, held together with tape and twine
Scrape together living on the outer limits of life
Just terraformed planets, worlds from rock and granite
Dirt and tumbleweeds blow, but nobody'll panic
