BUTTERFLY

Butterfly, stay near (ooh) I found your name in the edge of

a page Folded like a note I forgot how to say

You carried summer on your paper-thin wings I was still learning the

weight of small things

Every little turn felt like leaving the ground If change is a

door, I am touching the frame Scared of the sky,

but I want it the same Hold me until I can loosen

my hands

Butterfly, open up the morning Show me how the breaking turns to

flight I have been a heart inside a covering Waiting for the

gold to reach the light

Butterfly,

carry me higher Not too far,

just past the fear

You drew a map with a tremble and glide Over the fence

where my old doubts hide I kept my brave face pinned to

my sleeve Now I let it fall when I need to breathe

Nothing has to stay what it was

Butterfly, open up the morning Show me how the breaking turns to

flight

I have been a heart inside a covering Waiting for the gold

to reach the light

Butterfly, carry me higher Not too far,

just past the fear

Let the old shell fall away Let the new air know my

face I was not lost,

I was changing

Butterfly, stay near I am almost here (ooh)
