Butterfly

Forget everything you ever knew about her
She’s never gonna be the way she was before
She’s changing with the seasons and everything around her
She’s becoming something more
It’s inevitable but don’t be afraid

See her transforming
she’s a miracle
Watch her wings unfolding
isn’t she beautiful?
She’s a butterfly 
A butterfly

There’s a whole new world that she needs to discover
And another world she’s leaving behind
She’s floating on the wind with the clouds above her
She’s flying blind, she needs to find her way
You can’t keep her pinned-down in a velvet case

See her transforming
she’s a miracle
Watch her wings unfolding
isn’t she beautiful?
She’s a butterfly (she’s changing)
A butterfly (don’t be afraid)
A butterfly (she’ll be okay)

Don’t touch her wings
She needs them both to fly
They’re fragile things
If you touch them 
You could crush them
And she would die
Just let her fly

She’s a butterfly (she’s changing)
A butterfly (don’t be afraid)
A butterfly (she’ll be okay)
