BUTTERFLY

butterfly, butterfly

Spread your wings and take the sky

Won’t you see it through

You were meant to open wide

Don’t you hide yourself inside

 

Butterfly

Yeah it’s really you, come true

I’m calling

Butterfly, butterfly

You were born, you will die

In between the dream is only that you learn to fly

 

Oh butterfly, I won’t lie

Some would catch you just to see you die

You can make it but you gotta a chance and fly

Butterfly

 

You’ve got a worried mind, outside the shell

So safe inside, and dark as Hell

But when you make that choice, to spread those wings

Babe, I know you’ll never regret, oh such joy they bring

You let your colors fly, you’re born again

I know it’s harder than hell

But the pain is worth the freedom found

Aren’t you tired, tired of living on the ground

 

Oh, and butterfly, I won’t lie

Some would catch you just to see you cry

but you can make it if you take yourself a chance and fly

Butterfly
