When you love someone so deeply
|
They become your life
|
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
|
Blindly I imaged I could
|
Keep you under glass
|
Now I understand to hold you
|
I must open my hands
|
And watch you rise
|
|
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
|
For you have become a butterfly
|
Fly abandonedly into the sun
|
If you should return to me
|
We truly were meant to be
|
So spread your wings and fly
|
Butterfly
|
|
I have learned that beauty
|
Has to flourish in the light
|
Wild horses run unbridled
|
Or their spirit dies
|
You have given me the courage
|
To be all that I can
|
And truly feel your heart will
|
Lead you back to me when you're
|
Ready to land
|
|
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
|
For you have become a butterfly
|
Fly abandonedly into the sun
|
If you should return to me
|
We truly were meant to be
|
So spread your wings and fly
|
Butterfly
|
|
I can't pretend these tears
|
Aren't over flowing steadily
|
I can't prevent this hurt from
|
Almost overtaking me
|
But will stand and say goodbye
|
For you'll never be mine
|
Until you know the way it feels to fly
|
|
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
|
For you have become a butterfly
|
Fly abandonedly into the sun
|
If you should return to me
|
We truly were meant to be
|
So spread your wings and fly
|
Butterfly
|
|
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
|
For you have become a butterfly
|
Fly abandonedly into the sun
|
If you should return to me
|
We truly were meant to be
|
So spread your wings and fly
|
Butterfly
|
So flutter through the sky
|
Butterfly
|
Spread your wings and fly
|
Butterfly
|
