Walter Afanasieff - Butterfly lyrics

[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
