The original song of this title is on the following link, arranged and sung by Elanna Lund, who’s currently using it in a contest fundraiser. If you’d like to vote for her, here’s the link and another song of mine she arranged and performed for her next video. Below is another version I wrote as another poem in the Pioneer series, which I recently updated below.

Get up now, honey,

There’s something funny 

We think you should see.

It’s nothing earth-shaking,

Tonight we’re just making

A new memory.

It’s quite strange to wake you,

But we want to take you

---

Chasin’ fireflies

Sparks of green in the dark!

Chasin’ fireflies

---

Run fast, my baby,

One fine day maybe

We’ll think of this night.

Things aren’t quite what they seem,

But this life is no dream,

It’s a joyful fight.

Don’t forget Whose you are,

Don’t get struck by a star,

---

Chasin’ fireflies

Be careful, you may fall!

Chasin’ fireflies

---

The glow lasts a moment.

Though you try to hold it,

the shine fades from view.

Go and chase pretty lights,

But not too many nights,

You’ll have work to do.

Seek God’s beauty each day,

Don’t throw your life away

---

Chasin’ fireflies

Catch them, then let them go!

Chasin’ fireflies
