Tiny angels

Verse
I remember catching fireflies
and putting them in jars
and the scent of orange trees blooming
out in grandpa’s yard.
I remember looking skyward
and gazing at the stars
as a child in awe of God’s work
glowing in the jar.
Chorus
They were tiny angels
whose halos glowed
as I freed them from the jar
each one blessed my soul.
Verse
I’d forgotten what it felt like
beneath a country sky;
the air perfumed with citrus blooms
glowing with fireflies.
I’d forgotten, I’d forgotten
how angels touched my soul
when I opened up that bottle
and I let them go.
Chorus
They were tiny angels
whose halos glowed;
as I freed them from the jar
each one blessed my soul.
Verse
I remember feeling conscious
of doing something good
and feeling like the part
of a greater brotherhood.
I remember I remember
as if it’s yesterday
how it felt to be that young child
filled with hope and faith.
Chorus
They were tiny angels
Whose halos glowed;
As I freed them from the jar
Each one blessed my soul.
