[Verse 1]
When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imaged I could
Keep you under gla**
Now I understand to hold you
I must open my hands
And watch you rise
[Chorus]
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a bu*terfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
bu*terfly
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I can't pretend these tears
Aren't overflowing steadily
I can't prevent this hurt from
Almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye
For you'll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly
[Chorus]
[Outro]
So flutter through the sky
bu*terfly
Spread your wings and fly
bu*terfly
