Butterfly

When you love someone so deep that they become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imagined I could keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you I must open up my hands
And watch you rise

(Spread your wings and prepare to fly)
(For you have become a butterfly)
Oh-oh-oh, fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

I have learned that beauty has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled or their spirit dies
You have given me the courage to be all that I can
And I truly feel your heart will lead you back to me
When you're ready to land

(Spread your wings and prepare to fly)
(For you have become a butterfly)
Oh-oh-oh, fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me (if you should return to me)
We truly were meant to be (we truly were meant to be)
So spread your wings and fly (spread your wings)
Butterfly

I can't pretend these tears aren't over flowing steadily
I can't prevent this hurt from almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye for you'll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly

(Spread your wings and prepare to fly)
(For you have become a butterfly)
Oh-oh-oh, fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We know you're mine (we truly were meant to be)
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly (my butterfly)

(Spread your wings and prepare to fly)
(For you have become a butterfly)
Oh-oh-oh, fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly (spread your wings butterfly)

So flutter through the sky
Butterfly, fly
Spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
