Yellow Butterfly

Fly yellow butterfly
Spread your wings
And wander high
Don’t worry ‘bout tomorrow
Just leave those thoughts of sorrow

From caterpillar to cocoon
Emerging ‘neath the bright full moon
Dark gaps are in your way
Fly straight ahead
And don’t you sway

Thoughts and dreams envelop you
Oh no one knows you through and through
Soaring through the midnight sky
You’ll live forever
Never die

So fly little butterfly
Spread your wings
Don’t wonder why
Just leave those thoughts of sorrow
There’ll always be tomorrow

From fledgling to full grown
Drifting where the winds have blown
Zephyr takes you far away
Eastwards towards
The new day

Dawn’s light shimmers on your wings
Oh listening to a world that sings
Shades of purple, azure blue
Don’t let the darkness
Take a hold of you

So fly yellow butterfly
Spread your wings
And wander high
Don’t worry ‘bout tomorrow
Just leave those thoughts of sorrow

Dew gathers on your back
Oh you have all the things we lack
As heavens redden with twilight
You take a leap
And then take flight

You fall asleep on a flowerbed
There’s no weight on your tiny head
Dreams of colours and of light
For you no nightmares
And no fright

So fly yellow butterfly
Spread your wings
And wander high
Don’t worry ‘bout tomorrow
Just leave those thoughts of sorrow

Just fly little butterfly
Spread your wings
Don’t wonder why
Just leave those thoughts of sorrow
There’ll always be tomorrow

Just fly…
