Just Like a Firefly {Double La'Tuin}

Press on ointment, though you will still cry;
Stopped breathing seems to be your lungs.
Do not worry, it will be all right,
I'll take care of you, Firefly.

The problem is your small light did die,
And no longer can you feel the rungs.
The latter's slipping without a fight;
I'll catch you, but can't let you fly.

Sooth your sad heart; do not you dare die,
You may be hurt; you can have my lungs,
I know it's frightening, but hold on tight,
One day again you will soon fly.

I know you are frustrated, but don't sigh;
Speak to me in your native tongue,
For you're doing completely all right,
Today is the day you can fly.

---------------------------

Twinkle, twinkle, can you hear that sigh?
Firefly is back on his rungs,
He didn't give up without a fight,
And just him you too can fly.

Your friends do worry when you sigh,
It frightens them and stops their tongue.
They are truly scared when you don't fight,
Yet by yourself you'll learn to fly.

"I know it hurts," says Firefly,
But soon you'll get air in your lungs,
You will shimmer one day, very bright,
By help from friends -- hold your head high.

It takes courage to hold yourself high,
Even though drowning are your lungs;
So take this time, it's worth it to fight,
Tonight is not your time to die.

Twinkle, twinkle, can you hear that sigh?
Firefly is back on his rungs,
He didn't give up without a fight,
And just him you too can fly.
