Butterfly

Never felt so old

So ready to fold it all down

So at home on the cold, hard ground

I'm not chasing Sun no more

How I love that light

But it don't help when the nights get long

I'm too tired to right all the wrongs

I must have done to end up so far gone

But my sweet friend, the angel

You float in on the wind

Tell me this is not the end

And you say, you say, you say

That I just got to play this game and I'll leave it alive

And someday, someday, someday

I'll look back and see all the pain and fear was a lie

You gotta die awhile to come back a butterfly

When it comes to change

All I know is to rage against

It don't matter the cage I'm in

Still feels like a home to me

But then the rain comes down

And I'm afraid that I'll drown in here

I cover my head, but it's loud and clear

There's only one way out

Oh, cruel world, you break me

Out of all my shells

I guess you know me well

And you say, you say, you say

That I just got to play this game and I'll leave it alive

And someday, someday, someday

I'll look back and see all the pain and fear was a lie

You gotta die awhile to come back a butterfly

Oh, my soul, I feel you

Reaching for the wind

Longing to begin again

Butterfly
