Night and Day

When daylight comes and
                       starts the day...
                       I open up my sleepy eyes....
                       and see the sky...
                       I want to fly....
                       So very high...
                       The wind is blowing in
                       my face...
                       My eyes begin to to water..
                       and then I cry... 
                       I use the clouds to wipe them
                       dry....
                       When night-time comes....
                       I shut my eyes....
                       and start to fly...
                       I am the firefly...
                       drawn towards the starry
                       skies...
                       and shadowy moon...
                       Now darkness fades....
                       The stars begin to drift away...
                       Bringing night to day..
                       Then the sun comes out to
                       play...
                       With golden rays....
                       That warms our days...
