Butterfly

A garden full of tall trees

Yet you lay curled in a corner

Under a half bitten leaf

Shading away from brightness

Butterfly, you took shelter under my wings

Butterfly, we built a pupa just for us

Then one day you went into the bright

You liked the sunlight better than my shadow

Butterfly, was it always you

Or did you lose your feet to fly into the mighty blue

Butterfly, was it always you

Or did you lose your feet to fly into the mighty blue

They say blood is thicker than water

But the rivers carried you away,

Away from the orchard I nurtured you in

I would turn this world into our cocoon

But your world is a world for one

I knew one day you'd go into the bright

But you'll come back

Someday when you know that

Butterfly, you'll take shelter under my wings

(Butterfly, you took shelter under my wings)

Butterfly, home is where you find yourself

(Butterfly, we built a pupa)

Butterfly, together we will fly

Rainbow up every dark night sky
