They are not stars

Burning in the sky at night

No, no they're candles

In astro-flight

They are not men

Walking on the streets below

What are they really

Nobody knows

They are not stars

We are not human

I don't know

The reason why

A firefly is not a candle

Not a flower in my eye

And so, a rose is not a rose

By that or any other name

Things remain unexplained

I am a tree

Dancing on the ocean floor

The air is water

On desert shores

There is a face

Painted on the salty moon

The tree singing

This silent tune

They are not stars

We are not human

I don't know

The reason why

A firefly is not a candle

Not a flower in my eye

And so, a rose is not a rose

By that or any other name

Things remain unexplained

They are not stars

You're not human

I don't know

The reason why

A firefly is not a candle

Not a flower in my eye

And so, a rose is not a rose

By any, any other name

Things remain unexplained

They are not stars

We are not human

I don't know

The reason why

A firefly is not a candle

Not a flower in my eye

And so, a rose is not a rose

By that or any other name

Things remain unexplained
