In my mother's house
There's a photograph
Of a day gone past
Always makes me laugh
There's a little girl
Wary of the world
She got much to learn
Get her fingers burnt
And the inffinity
Between you and me
Was a family yeah yeah yeah
Said that i'd be fine
Gave me all your time
And i left your side
Like a butterfly
Shower me with your love
Colour everyday
Give me the milk on sun
Shine on me yeah yeah
Lift me up so high
Watch me fly away
And you give me your life
Like a butterfly
In my mother's house
There was happiness
I wrapped myself in it
Was my chrysalis
As my life unfolds
See a pattern through
Oh you protecting me
And i protecting you
What was that you say ?
Make your own mistakes
And when you're grown
Make sure that you remain the same
Now i realise
What was on your mind
When i left your side
Like a butterfly
Shower me with your love
Colour everyday
Give me the milk on sun
Shine on me yeah yeah
Lift me up so high
Watch me fly away
And you give me your life
Like a butterfly
Shower me with your love
Colour everyday
Give me the milk on sun
Shine on me yeah yeah
Lift me up so high
Watch me fly away
cause you give me your life
Like a butterfly
