Butterfly
Tell me if you even know
If you're going where you wanna go
And if you're showing all you need to show
Butterfly
Do you ever get to stay
Or do you always fly away
Pretty butterfly
I have held you
With tender, gentle hands
But you're complicated
And I don't understand
Is it just your story
Do you always ride the wind
Will you be flying away
The same way you flew in
Butterfly
Tell me if you even know
If you're going where you wanna go
If you're showing all you need to show
Butterfly
Do you ever get to stay
Or do you always fly away
Pretty butterfly
Butterfly
Do you ever get to stay
Or do you always fly away
Pretty butterfly
Do you always fly away
Pretty butterfly
