Once You Were Wondrous

I was older when I first saw fireflies
Lighting up reeds like the prayers left behind our eyes
They glow and glow and glow without apologizing
It was then I started dreaming 'bout marine life
And all the possibilities if I could bend the light
With auric gestures, luminate in tree lines
The whispers true, we were the last sign
They saw that night

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Wake up and tell me who you dreamed of
I was your wave, and cry, I was your lightning dove
I know you're terrified, but you'll never be without
Once you were wondrous, and now you're having doubts
Once you were wondrous, and now you're having doubts

Ooh, ooh, ooh

One day, they promise the light in us will leave here
Say things that will make me wanna stay for the remainder
Our effervescing thoughts on forever
Last long enough for us to remember

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Wake up and tell me who you dreamed of
I was your wave, and cry, I was your lightning dove
I know you're terrified, but you'll never be without
Once you were wondrous, and now you're having doubts
Once you were wondrous, and now you're having doubts

Ooh, ooh, ooh

You were once a mountain-hearted one
You were once a mountain-hearted one
You were once a mountain-hearted one
You were once a mountain-hearted

Wake up and tell me who you dreamed of
I was your wave, and cry, I was your lightning dove
I know you're terrified, but you'll never be without
Once you were wondrous, and now you're having doubts

Wake up and tell me who you dreamed of
I was your wave, and cry, I was your lightning dove
I know you're terrified, you'll never be without
Once you were wondrous, and now you're having doubts

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
