My wings are tied but, I keep flying.
And, In the morning.

Nothing can hurt you, When you get so high.
I Know how hard life gets, but it's not over yet.
And, In the morning.
I change into something like you.
Butterfly, When you take to the sky, I know I.
Nothing can hurt you, When you get so high.
Butterfly, When you take to the sky, I know I.
Nothing can hurt you, When you get so high.
Butterfly, When you take to the sky, I know I.
