My butterfly
(Spread your wings and prepare to fly)
My butterfly
(Spread your wings and prepare to fly)
My butterfly
(Spread your wings and prepare to fly)
My butterfly
(Spread your wings and prepare to fly)
My butterfly

When you love someone so deeply
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

Oh yeah
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
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 truly feel your heart will
Lead you back to me when you're
Ready to land

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
(Fly...)

I can't pretend these tears
(I can't pretend these tears)
Aren't overflowing steadily
I can't prevent this hurt from
(I can't prevent this hurt)
Almost overtaking me
(But I, I will stand)
But I will stand and say goodbye
(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
Fly abandonedly into the sun (fly... to the sun)
If you should return to me (I will know you're mine)
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly (spread your wings and fly)
My butterfly
Fly

Oh into the sun
You... you and I
Spread your wings
Butterfly
