Morning light, silken dream to flight
|
As the darkness gave way to dawn
|
You've survived, now your moment has arrived
|
Now your dream has finally been born
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Black Butterfly, sailed across the waters
|
tell your sons and daughters
|
what the struggle brings
|
Black Butterfly, set the skies on fire
|
rise up even higher
|
so the ageless winds of time can catch your wings
|
|
ooh...ooh
|
|
While you slept, the promise was unkept
|
But your faith was as sure as the stars
|
Now you're free, and the world has come to see
|
Just how proud and beautiful you are
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Let the current lift your heart and send it soaring
|
Write the timeless message clear across the sky
|
So that all of can read it and remember when we need it
|
That a dream conceived in truth can never die
|
Butterfly
|
|
Cause now that you're free and the world has come to see
|
Just how proud and beautiful you are
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Fly
|
Butterfly
|
Yeah, yeah, yes
|
Fly
|
