Pennies In A Jar

All I recall are fireworks and fireflies

That lit the sky

Seem to imply if I could catch them

Why couldn't I bottle up the stars pennies in a jar

That's how I saw the world

Every sea shell held apart

And I thought my heart was part of a story

Novel and new

Something that I could tell my dreams to

What did I do

Filled it up with stars pennies in a jar

And I earned everyone

Nothing burns quite like the sun

When the shadows fall I lose my place and can't recall

Why did I dare to fly What was gained

So I search for silver lost out in the rain

I think I finally found it

There's a change inside me there a change in all I see oh

Little change

Some days are grey but others are gilded with victory

They used to be what made life rich

But now I can see

Days for what they are

Pennies in a jar I will spend with you

I will spend with you
