I had a lantern
I turned it into a rocket for the sky
Illuminating the ground in which I play
Illuminating the ground
But my mother told me to put it away
Lead me to my room and made me a bed to lay
I had a firefly, tied to a string
I lead to the sky
Casting out silver light onto the beds in which we slumber
But my mother told me to put it away
But my mother told me to put it away
I killed the firefly
Lead him into the lantern in the
I killed the firefly
Lead him into the lantern in the sky
Oh mother what have I done
Oh mother what have I done
What have I done
