Let me sing you to sleep
Let me have you to keep
Let me let you go
Help me let you know
You are free to fly
You are free to go
Spread your wings
At anytime
My butterfly

Let me caress your wings
Let me share with you the finer things
No one else ever has
Let me take the chances
Everyone was afraid to have
With you
Sing you
A song
Of love
A lullaby
A coo

Your fluttering flight
Through life to fight
To spread your wings
To greater heights
I am humming
To the beat of your heart
To let you know
You are safe here
You are home

Your colors never
Have to compromise
Your excitement
Will be not dampened
Your light
Will be not hampered
Your cup
Will be not empty
You are free to fly
Any time that you are
Tempted

Life is too short
To prevent you
From living it
That's why I'm
Giving it
All to you
A song
A chant
A lullaby
Of truth

As your wings develop
May my love envelop
You
Careful not to suffocate
Gentle is your transformation
Changing, growing
Becoming your
Incredible
Hue

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord your soul to keep
My butterfly, my lullaby
My sweetest sweet
If you should ever need to leave
Ever feel the need to breathe
Take my hand
Feel the release
Of being free
Free to return
Free to adventure
Just as I mentioned
Into the wild
The great abyss
I will give thee
A butterfly kiss
Twice on your cheeks
Once on your lips

Follow your heart
Around the world
My love will never wane away
My feelings will not shift for you
Tomorrow, Ten thousand years, or today
This unconditional vein of love
Will always be here
Waiting for you
To sing this
Lullaby
Of truth

Let me caress your wings
Let me share with you the finer things
No one else ever has
Let me take the chances
Everyone was afraid to have
With you
Sing you
A song
Of love
A lullaby
A coo

Remember the sound
Remember the song
Remember the humming
The drumming, the buzzing
The one that I've been singing
All along, your lullaby, your song
Flap your wings, feel the beat
Let the rhythm be the wind
Beneath

A song of liberation
Embracing the
Freedom within you
A lullaby for my butterfly
Fly away if you must go
As you spread your wings
Remembering
You always have
A home
Here
With
Me
