Ember runs across the lawnEvening crickets singing onLittle lights go blink blink blinkFaster than your eyes can winkEmber holds her jar up highHere comes one now floating byCup your hands so soft and slowIn the jar a little glowFirefly Ember glow glow glowTwinkle lights in the grass belowEverybody blink with meEmber's lights for all to seeOpen up and let them flyEmber waves them up so highSparkles dancing all aroundFloating up without a soundFirefly Ember glow glow glowTwinkle lights in the grass belowEverybody blink with meEmber's lights for all to see

Where the name comes from

Ember is a modern name taken from the English word for a lump of hot coal.

Why this moment matters

Catching fireflies and letting them go is a summer-evening ritual that teaches gentleness as much as wonder.

The story behind this song

On a warm summer evening Ember runs across the lawn with a jar, cups a blinking firefly gently inside, watches it glow and lets it go.
