black butterfly

morning light

silken dream take flight

as the darkness gives way to the dawn

you survived

now your moment has arrived

now your dream has finally been born

black butterfly

sail across the waters

tell your sons and daughters what the struggle brings

black butterfly

set the skies on fire

rise up even higher

so the ageless winds of time can catch your wings

ooh.ooh

while you slept

the promise was unkept

but your faith was as sure as the stars

now you're free

and the world has come to see

just how proud and beautiful you are

black butterfly

sail across the waters

tell your sons and daughters what the struggle brings

black butterfly

set the skies on fire

rise up even higher

so the wind can catch your wings

let the current lift your heart and send it soaring

write your timeless message clear across the skies

so that all of us can read it and remember when we need it

that a dream conceived in truth can never die

butterfly

cause now you're free and the world has come to see

just how proud and beautiful you are

black butterfly

sail across the waters

tell your sons and daughters

what the struggle brings

black butterfly

set the skies set them on fire

rise up even higher so the ageless winds of time can catch your wings

fly

butterfly

yeah

yeah

yes

fly
