Butterflies

One, two, three, four

With you, I don't even know where to start

Is it cartoon coasters in the dark?

Did he ever walk into that bar

And find you drawing?

I want to climb in and I want to learn

But I better hold back and wait my turn

There's a million more of us who yearn

To know your secrets

I met you first in my daddy's arms

I danced with my mom to "Caught in the Spark"

But a boy born in the moon of cancer

Showed me how to hear you

We sat and we listened to Little Green

I cried so hard I could not see

And the pain comes back in waves to me

As I watch my daughter grow

Did you ever find that river to skate away on?

Peace wasn't just a dream that some of you had, you know

And yes, the bombers are still rising up in the skies

We are your children and we're working on turning them into

Butterflies (Butterflies)

Butterflies (Butterflies)

Ooh

When the canyon ladies gather 'round

You know it's hard to see you in that crowd

Tell me, after souls have touched

Can they really live together?

Or do we love our freedom more?

There's a cat scratching at my door

Sometimes I think she's me outside

Trying to get your tunings

Did you ever find that river to skate away on?

Peace wasn't just a dream that some of you had, you know

Yes, the bombers are still rising up in the skies

Look, we are your children and we're working on turning them into

Butterflies (Butterflies)

Butterflies (Butterflies)

Butterflies (Butterflies)

Ooh, ooh, ooh

What size shoe do you take?

I've got a spare pair of ice skates
