Butterflies
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.
The battles you will win with arms
And only love can win the war
The battles you will win with arms
And only love will win the war
Yeah
She says I'm high, am I smoking so much kushungpeng?
Why I'm talking about these crazy things?
Like, who really has the most to gain?
The ones who fan the flame
The ones who tell the tales that history never fails
The words are from a page, a shackle for the brave
So the dragons' dreams came true
What about me and you?
We can be butterflies
If only you knew
The battles you will win with arms
And only love will win the war
We can be butterflies
Now, if you hear what I say
Only the Sun can bring the day
We can be butterflies, yeah
They say I'm naive and that the bets were already in
And I didn't have a poker face
Oh, the river was just around the bend
For some, it's just a game
The ones who sell the bombs
The bullets and the guns
They build the tanks and planes
Incentivize our pain
Oh, the serpents' dreams came true
And why not me and you?
Now, we can be butterflies
If only you knew
The battles you will win with arms
And only love can win the war
We can be butterflies
Now, can you hear what I say?
Only the Sun can bring in the day
We can be butterflies
We can be butterflies (we can be butterflies)
We can be butterflies (we can be butterflies)
We can be butterflies
We can be butterflies
