Lyrics
Butterfly (She Flies Alone)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She never knew the meaing of the word
Or ever held or felt her freedom
All she knew was looking out from
Windows streaked with her own tears
And her own shadows
Within a cage
Try to escape
Her silent rage
But no one ever listens
Behind her back she's both wings tied
She will break free
She will not be denied
So she flies alone
Out into the great unknown
No one there to tell her where to go
So she flies sweet butterfly
Counting every second
Minutes turn to hours
Seems like years
The wait's eternal
Finally passed the point of all lost hope
She will break free
She will not be denied
So she flies alone
Out into the great unknown
No one there to tell her where to go
So she flies like a butterfly
