Why do fireflies have to die so soon?

Fleeting, yet innocent and beautiful all the same. This is a song written for those trying to give some shelter and comfort, even as the world outside shows otherwise.

Hotaru (demo version)

Sing you to sleep
with a kiss on the cheek
I'll turn off the lights
but I'll stay by your side

I
You woke up to the sound of a televised war
all these things you didn't know before
so if you must
then just close your eyes

I promise that as long as I'm still here
I won't let them come
anywhere near
even if they tried

II
The colors they grew bright orange and red
Don't you mind it, 
let's go back to bed
dream for me instead 

So steady your breathing
those frail little arms
tired eyes, and a smile that's as warm
as the sunlight that we miss

Through this long, lonely night
for the rest of my life
I just want you to know
That I'll never let go

Sing you to sleep,
tears shine on your cheek
so pure and unique
As I sing you to sleep


For brothers and sisters everywhere.

Hotaru (Demo)
