Pennies In A Jar

All I recall are fireworks And fireflies that lit the sky Seem to imply if I could catch them Why couldn't I bottle up the stars? Pennies in a jar That's how I saw the world Every sea shell held apart And I thought my heart was part of a story Novel and new Something that I could tell my dreams to What did I do? Filled it up with stars Pennies in a jar And I earned everyone Nothing burns quite like the sun When the shadows fall I lose my place and can't recall Why did I dare to fly? What was gained? So I search for silver lost out in the rain I think I finally found it There's some change inside of me There's some change in all I see A little change Some days are gray But others are gilded with victory They used to be what made life rich But now I can see Days for what they are Pennies in a jar, I will spend with you I will spend with you
