Chrysalis

Once upon a time in a forest

Two friends were playing joyfully

Climbing rocks all day till darkness

Mesmerized by stars above the trees

Nothing could take you away from me

And no one could take me away from you

Growing up, lost in the wilderness

Crawling around from tree to tree

Always together in joy or sadness

But life has so much more to see

When hopes and dreams unite

You'll be born again

From the ashes you'll rise

Like the wind beneath your wings

You fly away

You were born to fly butterfly

Far away you'll fly butterfly

You are free to fly butterfly

Spread your wings and fly

Brothers and sisters, heart and soul united

By the sword of ignorance and prejudice

We'll be divided

New days arise over a brand new world

Red colored wings glide above and swirl

Fluttering with pride and heart as pure as pearl

Blue wings are left behind shining red mirrors

Spread your wings like nations raise their flag

The blind can see beyond their tones and shades of life

Those blessed with open eyes polish their narrow mind

Prejudice once learned, hatred runs in your veins

Bigotry lines will rhyme in your anthems of shame

Spread your wings like nations raise their flag

Raise their flag

Spread your wings like nations wave their flag

Entangled in a web that never really caught your eyes

The more you try to free yourself

The more it pulls you tight

True wonders of nature are not always on your side

You scream, cry, fight back

You're just a butterfly

Dark eyes in the corner waiting to see the signs

Awaken by vibrations of your softest sigh

Slowly approaching enjoying your desperate fight

In the eyes of the spider

You're just another butterfly

Butterfly

All you took for granted is lost

Only then you realize

All your friends have gone now

No one would stand by your side

Velvet covering your wings

That built your circle and your pride

Won't make much of a difference on the day you die

Once you give in to all this madness

Blue angels you'd never hoped to see

One last look that fills you heart with sadness

He gave his life to set you free

Who are you to see what lies within my heart?

And who's to judge me by the color of my wings?

Who are you to know what lies deep in my soul?

And who's to judge me by the color of my wings?

What difference does it make if we can fly away?

The colors of our wings

What difference does it make once we fly away?

You were born to fly butterfly

Far away you'll fly butterfly

You are free to fly butterfly

Spread your wings and fly

Little butterfly
