The Ocean and the Butterfly
Once I had a dream
Stuck somewhere in-between
The water and the beach
Oh, both worlds out of reach
So, with elegance and style
Caught a wave and took a ride
An empty plastic bag
A starry night
Floats into the black
Look at how she dip and diving
No one could ever know, yeah
How many miles she'll go
Or how she does with such elegance and style
Look at how she dip and dives
Take only what you need
Like the water and the seed
And so after we are gone
There is something good to carry on
All this elegance and style
Dancing with the butterfly
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Now, math's no miracle
It's all grown mechanical
Oh, machines by cells designed, yeah
To float into the sky
With such elegance and style
The ocean and the butterfly
Stuck somewhere in-between
The water and the beach
Oh, both worlds out of reach
So, with elegance and style
Caught a wave and took a ride
An empty plastic bag
A starry night
Floats into the black
Look at how she dip and diving
No one could ever know, yeah
How many miles she'll go
Or how she does with such elegance and style
Look at how she dip and dives
Take only what you need
Like the water and the seed
And so after we are gone
There is something good to carry on
All this elegance and style
Dancing with the butterfly
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Now, math's no miracle
It's all grown mechanical
Oh, machines by cells designed, yeah
To float into the sky
With such elegance and style
The ocean and the butterfly
