fly high butterfly ~ song

this time is dark and dreary why do i live it out? i’m in the dirt and dusty road what’s this life all about? i look up and it seems like miles ‘till i could reach the sky someone told me that i could go but i know it’s a lie but somethin’ says fly high butterfly come on, you won’t die fly high butterfly come on reach for the sky fly high butterfly come on butterfly fly fly high butterfly i feel that i can’t do it i wanna stay the same though this is hard and rough terrain to me it’s home i say then groundhog day it is again please stop it i implore the wounds need healin’ i am hurt can’t take it anymore but somethin’ says fly high butterfly come on, you won’t die fly high butterfly come on reach for the sky fly high butterfly come on butterfly fly fly high butterfly i crawl up to my empty shell i curl up inside i wait, i’m frightened, what to do? i feel like i will die i melt down into nothingness i cannot take the pain but something’s changin’ i wake up to see life once again cuz somethin’ said fly high butterfly come on, you won’t die fly high butterfly fly on up to the sky fly high butterfly come on butterfly fly i flew and saw the light i’m alive butterfly now i know that this is the life have the courage fly fly high butterfly ©2016janetaylor
