Oh little butterfly, learning to fly.
Seeing the world first hand.
Landing on flowers to take in the scent.
Floating by people to watch what they’re like.
Loving life as you see it.

Oh little butterfly, learning the truth.
Seeing life as it truly is.
Not being able to reach the flowers.
Flying away from people and their cruelty.
Disgusted by life as you see it.

Oh little butterfly, trying not to get hurt.
Moving away from giant hands,
Trying to capture you.
Dodging predators at night.
Realizing what life is really like.
