Not yet a woman and certainly not a child   But I was caught somewhere in the middle   On that one Friday afternoon and I   I remember Mama sayin', "It's time for you to go   Go on out and change the world and become   All that you have dreamed of"      And as the tears that she was cryin'   Fell from her face and shoulders, she said   "Don't forget who you are, child   Where you come from, where you're goin'   'Cause I'm always gonna be here for you   Fightin' in your corner, so with every bow you take   Take one for those that came before you"      Go on now, fly, fly, butterfly   Stand upon these two shoulders of mine   Spread those wings of yours and fly      Now I'm a woman and I've got a child   And I just can't believe the day's gonna come   When she tells me that it's time to soar   And I don't know what I'm will do   Not sure what I'm gonna tell her      Maybe, don't forget who you are, child   Where you come from, where you're going   'Cause I'm always gonna be here for you   Fightin' in your corner, so with every bow you take   Take one for those that came before ya      Go on now, fly, fly, butterfly   Stand upon these two shoulders of mine   Spread those wings of yours and fly      There is something sacred   About the letting go of those we wanna hold   So tightly to, but somehow we know they must move on   On for those who have a dream to make our future better and      On for those who will earn their wings   In spite of wind and weather you tell 'em love is waiting there   Forever in their corner, so with every bow they take   They'll take one for those that came before them      Go on now, fly, fly, butterfly   Stand upon these two shoulders of mine   Spread those wings of yours and fly      Fly high, butterfly, but you'll never never know   If you don't try   Fly high, butterfly   ...
