When you love someone so deeply they become your life   It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside   Blindly I imagined I could keep you under glass   Now I understand to hold you I must open up my hands   And watch you rise      Spread your wings and prepare to fly   For you have become a butterfly   Fly abandonedly into the sun      If you should return to me   We truly were meant to be   So spread your wings and fly   Butterfly      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 I truly feel your heart will lead you back to me   When you're ready to land      Spread your wings and prepare to fly   For you have become a butterfly   Fly abandonedly into the sun      If you should return to me   We truly were meant to be   So spread your wings and fly   Butterfly      I can't pretend these tears aren't over flowing 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      Spread your wings and prepare to fly   For you have become a butterfly   Fly abandonedly into the sun      If you should return to me   We truly were meant to be   So spread your wings and fly   Butterfly      Spread your wings and prepare to fly   For you have become a butterfly   Fly abandonedly into the sun      If you should return to me   We truly were meant to be   So spread your wings and fly   Butterfly      So flutter through the sky   Butterfly, fly   Spread your wings and fly   Butterfly
