Butterfly

Butterfly

Pretty ballerina
Dance around the room
Dazzling smile of joy
Safe in your cocoon

Nothing can hurt you
When you are in your dance
Pretty little butterfly
Not going to take a chance

You live a safe life, my child
Not what I intended
Where is your fire?
How soon it ended…

Pretty butterfly
All without a song
Someone's clipped your wings
You feel you don't belong

Dance dance my lovely
Ever whirling colour
Mask your brokeness
Show only power

You live a safe life, my child
Not what I intended
Where is your trust?
How soon it ended…

The powerful will fall
In their castles and city
Your brokenness made whole
Is how you'll show pity

Pretty butterfly
Do a little dance
Unfold your wings
Now's the time for chance

See the butterfly
Dance in the street
Dance to the little ones
Who have nothing to eat

Smart butterfly
Learning from the poor
Using suffering and love
To guide to heaven's door

Oh butterfly
See what you miss
When you think of selfish gain
You find, I will persist

Sell everything you own
Come and follow me
Words that changed the butterfly
Spoken by the man from Gallillee

You live a safe life my child
Not what I intended
Where is your servant heart?
How soon it ended…

Pretty butterfly
Caught in a wind
Wonder where you'll go
Please trade in your sin

I love you butterfly
You've always been mine
I created the dance
I created time

You live a full life, my child
Just what I intended
I see your fire
Only I will end it

On that day I end it
On the day you die
Come live with me forever
My beloved butterfly
