little butterfly

I remember flying

close to the sun

Before the shadows came

and made me run

A delicate creature

lost in the wind

Not knowing where my story

would begin

I used to tremble at the storm's soft sigh

Just a fragile shadow in the endless sky

Goodbye to the little butterfly

Who used to drift and wonder why

I’ve outgrown the wings I used to wear

Floating lighter in the forest air (oooh)

Decades sleeping taught

me how to grow

Releasing everything

I used to know

No longer fragile,

no longer small

I built a strength inside

the flower wall

Now when I look at who I used to be

I honor her,

but set her spirit free

The breeze still whispers her soft name

But the life I hold is not the same

I carried her memory through the dark

Now I’m the light above the mossy bark (hmmm)

Little butterfly, rest your wings...

Look at what the morning brings...

I’m who I was meant to be...
