Lyrics:

Before you met me, I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince and made myself a queen
Before you knew me, I traveled 'round the world
I slept in castles and fell in love because I was taught to dream

I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture Tinker Bell
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell

I believe in fairy tales
And dreamers' dreams like bed-sheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan
And miracles, anything I can to get by
And fireflies

Before I grew up, I saw you on a cloud
I could bless myself in your name and pat you on your wings
Before I grew up, I heard you whisper so loud
'Life is hard and so is love, child, believe in all these things'

I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture Tinker Bell
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell

I believe in fairy tales
And dreamers' dreams like bed-sheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan
And miracles, anything I can to get by
And fireflies

Fireflies

Before you met me, I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince and made myself a queen
Before you knew me, I traveled 'round the world
And I slept in castles and fell in love because I was taught to dream
