Firefly lights flickering away in the distance

A city in the distance

Firefly flickering lights

In the distance the road winding

Down through mountains

Broken down into hills down

Into valleys

And ever the lights are far,

As far as ever

Flickering away in the distance.

_

All you can do is move on

Move on and just one

Moment of light caught can

Justify an entire

Existence.

I grew up on a cattle station in the Australian Outback and decided to spend the rest of my life seeing the rest of the world.
