The Wings of a Butterfly
Bombs that fall in the nights
Their fires outshine the city lights
Travelling for a new life
One man, his child and his new wife
A packed boat on a storm
Holding hands to try stay warm
She grasps tightly to her child
Her husband right by her side
The waves they roar as the man slips overboard
Her hand reaches out to find nothing
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
Has torn her world apart
Settled in a council house
10 years gone by without her spouse
Her son has grown up to be everything she believed he'd be
One friday night he bumps into two angry youths down near the woods
Filled with dogma and with rage, this child was everything they hate
"Wrong place wrong time" say the officers at the door
Tears won't fall though she tries
She knows she can't take any more of this life
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
Has torn her world apart
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
(One beat from the wings of a butterfly)
(One beat from the wings of a butterfly)
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
(One beat from the wings of a butterfly)
(One beat from the wings of a butterfly)
(One beat from the wings of a butterfly)
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
(One beat from the wings of a butterfly)
(One beat)
(One beat)
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
Has torn her world apart
It's torn her world apart
Their fires outshine the city lights
Travelling for a new life
One man, his child and his new wife
A packed boat on a storm
Holding hands to try stay warm
She grasps tightly to her child
Her husband right by her side
The waves they roar as the man slips overboard
Her hand reaches out to find nothing
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
Has torn her world apart
Settled in a council house
10 years gone by without her spouse
Her son has grown up to be everything she believed he'd be
One friday night he bumps into two angry youths down near the woods
Filled with dogma and with rage, this child was everything they hate
"Wrong place wrong time" say the officers at the door
Tears won't fall though she tries
She knows she can't take any more of this life
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
Has torn her world apart
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
(One beat from the wings of a butterfly)
(One beat from the wings of a butterfly)
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
(One beat from the wings of a butterfly)
(One beat from the wings of a butterfly)
(One beat from the wings of a butterfly)
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
(One beat from the wings of a butterfly)
(One beat)
(One beat)
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
One beat from the wings of a butterfly
Has torn her world apart
It's torn her world apart
