Gloworms

Light me up - turn me on
I’ve been in the dark for way too long
Switch me on and set me free
This old night is smothering me
The whole world is a forest and we're all searching
Searching for a light

It’s time to crawl out of the undergrowth
To meet with others is our only hope
Others like us that have lost their way
But their lights are getting hard to find
Out in the darkness you can lose your mind
Don’t stop – or look around
They’re behind you
Beady eyes who just see us as prey

Our lonely beacons - lost florescent stars
Spinning in the eddies of the stream
Over the falls - a galaxy cascades
Will anyone be saved at all?

Take my hand – hold on tight
Together we’ll climb back into the light
And every limb we go out on
Feels so right it just can’t be wrong
And the ones who climb with us will hear our music
And flash in harmony
