Cynthia Weil - Black Butterfly lyrics

Morning light Silken dream to flight As the darkness gave way to dawn You've survived Now your moment has arrived Now your dream has finally been born Black bu*terfly Sailed across the waters Tell your sons and daughters What the struggle brings Black bu*terfly 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 bu*terfly Sailed across the waters Tell your sons and daughters What the struggle brings Black bu*terfly Set the skies on fire Rise up even higher So the ageless winds of time can catch your wings Let the current lift your heart And send it soaring Write the timeless message clear across the sky So that all of can read it And remember when we need it That a dream conceived in truth can never die bu*terfly Cause now that you're free And the world has come to see Just how proud and beautiful you are Black bu*terfly Sailed across the waters Tell your sons and daughters What the struggle brings Black bu*terfly Set the skies on fire Rise up even higher So the ageless winds of time can catch your wings Fly bu*terfly Yeah, yeah, yes Fly
