A stained glass window come alive
Ten thousand butterflies , so alive
Monarchs on a barnyard board
Such beauty made by our dear Lord
I never knew that this I'd see
It's beauty there in front of me
It is the greatest thing of all
Alive on Capistrano's wall
They make the flight away from cold
Now here they struggle just to hold
A place inside this natures frame
Their life the goal of this strange game
A moving silhouette I see
Ten Thousand Monarchs in front of me
This thing of beauty five feet tall
On a Capistrano barnyard wall

I never knew that this I'd see
It's beauty there in front of me

Alive on Capistrano's wall

Now here they struggle just to hold
A place inside this natures frame
Their life the goal of this strange game
A moving silhouette I see
Ten Thousand Monarchs in front of me
This thing of beauty five feet tall
On a Capistrano barnyard wall
