Wings of Wisdom


Butterfly, Butterfly 

Won’t you fly away 

Fly away with your beauty  

From this sad, sad day 

 

It is too dark 

And you are too light  

For you to try to cover  

For this sad, sad, night 

 

Butterfly, butterfly  

You deserve so much more 

And need to carry much less 

Go find a place where you can just rest 

 

You’ll be dampered by this storm  

If you stay much longer 

It’ll try to hold you back 

But you need to be stronger 

 

Oh butterfly, butterfly 

What I tell you is true 

You have a mighty bright future ahead of you 

Just don’t get lost in this dark, dark night 

 

For stars may look shiny  

And oh, how they shine 

Shine so bright 

But yet, you can't tell them apart 

And the night is still dark 

 

Oh butterfly, butterfly 

Don’t become a lost star 

Please remember 

Remember who you are
