Intro
Finn will grow a garden bright
For the fireflies at night.
Verse 1
First, his holes are much too near.
Rabbit says, "Give flowers room."
Finn fills in and starts once more.
Paw-wide spaces, one by one.
Chorus
Space and water, time and care,
Help small seeds grow everywhere.
Wait each day and you may see
Flowers bloom for friends to be.
Verse 2
One seed goes in every hole.
Soft brown earth makes each seed whole.
Little sign says seeds sleep here.
Finn brings water very near.
Chorus
Space and water, time and care,
Help small seeds grow everywhere.
Wait each day and you may see
Flowers bloom for friends to be.
Bridge
Big splash lifts a seed too high.
Finn pours slowly with a cup.
Green shoots, vines, then flowers white
Open softly in moonlight.
Final Chorus
Space and water, time and care,
Golden fireflies dance there.
Finn sits smiling by the glow.
Kind, slow care helped flowers grow.
Outro
Moonflowers in the garden bright
Welcome firefly friends tonight.
