Austin Cunningham The Butterfly Lyrics

The Butterfly Lyrics

The caterpillar wakes

 Within his dark cocoon

 He knows he must escape

 Before his house becomes his tomb

 For he is fast evolving

 And the walls are closing in

 To spread his living wings

 He must shed his dying skin

 

 As the silken chains are severed

 An overwhelming world appears

 And for a moment his endeavor

 Is hindered by his fears

 Ah, but trusting in his instincts

 He emerges in the light

 He surrenders the familiar

 And takes to awkward flight

 

 And on the shoulders of a gentle breeze

 He triumphs in the sun

 And marvels at all he has become

 And with an angels gracefulness

 He dances with the morning air

 You will dance with

 Touch the sky

 Butterfly

 

 Well, I understand the struggle

 That your heart is working through 

 There is sorrow in the changing

 From the old into the new

 But to reach your highest calling

 You must bravely make a choice

 To accept your wings of beauty

 And all creation will rejoice

 

 And on the shoulders of a gentle breeze

 You triumph in the sun

 And marvel at all you have become

 And with an angels gracefulness

 You will dance with the morning air

 Touch the sky

 Butterfly

 

 

 Butterfly

 If you try
