January 13: Scrap a Page with Lyrics
"Fireflies" by Faith Hill
Before you met me I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
And before you knew me I’d traveled ‘round the world
And I slept in castles
And fell in love
Because I was taught to dream
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture Tinker Bell
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell
‘Cause I believe in fairy tales
And dreamer’s dreams
Like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan
And miracles, anything I can to get by
And fireflies
Now before I grew up I saw you on a cloud
And I could bless myself in your name
And pat you on your wings
And before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
Well life is hard and so is love
Child, believe in all these things
journaling:
Oh, sweet girl ... little did we know how much depth these lyrics would hold so many years later. One of your favorite songs by Faith Hill when you were just a little girl, still full of dreams and fairytale adventures. You have been through so much and yet, I see glimpses of hope every so often. Your pure joy and excitement over seeing and catching fireflies when we were visiting Georgia was a balm to my heart. I love you so much, sweetie. Don't stop chasing those fireflies!
