BUTTERFLY




When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside 
Blindly I imaged I could 
Keep you under glass 
Now I understand to hold you 
I must open my hands
And watch you rise 

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly 
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me 
We truly were meant to be 
So spread your wings and fly 
Butterfly 

I have learned that beauty 
Has to flourish in the light 
Wild horses run unbridled 
Or their spirit dies 
You have given me the courage 
To be all that I can 
And truly feel your heart will 
Lead you back to me when you're 
Ready to land  

I can't pretend these tears 
Aren't overflowing steadily 
I can't prevent this hurt from 
Almost overtaking me 
But I will stand and say goodbye 
For you'll never be mine 
Until you know the way it feels to fly  
So flutter through the sky 
Butterfly

Spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

(performed by Mariah Carey)
