& Jim Steager

I went out walking in the moonlight

Underneath the starry sky

My heart was weighed down by misfortune

My ever-present mind was working overtime

I passed a field full of fireflies

Burning bright to light my way

To navigate me through the shadows was their job

Then they smiled at me & sang me on my way

Chorus: Everyone wants to be happy

We’re all in the same boat

All we need is compassion

To forever fuel our hope

As I continued on my journey

My soul was laden with despair

The darkness seemed so overwhelming

A silent chill was in the air

Then I gazed up to the heavens

The stars were peeking through the gray

They shown down like a million angels

And in harmony they sang

And then I found the inspiration

To turn the darkness into light

A hundred billion beings dancing to celebrate

The joy that’s waiting in this life

And now I’m dancing in the moonlight

A sense of peace flows from within

And as I open up my heart

I feel a strong connection to all people in this land

Everyone wants to be happy

We’re all in the same boat

All we need is compassion

To forever fuel our hope
