Jon Batiste - World Music Radio

Butterfly

Butterfly all alone
But can you fly on your own?
Take your place in the world today
Butterfly flying home

Cherry plum and chewing gum
Miniskirts and cause that hum
I see you're driving 'round with your head held high
Butterfly flying home

Stay a while here with me
Up underneath the stars
When you go, you'll be free
'Cause you know who you are
You're a butterfly

Color scheme from a dream, hm
A tapestry to soul supreme
I mean, I've never seen
Something so damn beautiful, child
It's a butterfly flying home

Flying home
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

You see, I'm howling at the moon
Day and night, ah-woo-hoo
They say I'm as crazy as a loon
But I'm alright all dressed in white

Butterfly in the air
Where you can fly anywhere
A sight beyond compare
A sacred song and a sacred tongue, hmm
It's a butterfly flying home
