Butterfly
by Derek Gust

Album: Humble Horse

You've got ideas in your head
Full of colour schemes, Bright lights, and big dreams
You've got so much life left
Still watch where you step, beware of the butterfly effect
cause there's deep deep water
in the places you go, You fight it but get lost in the undertow
O, Now you're learning things
You shouldn't ever know

You wish that you would shine again
Shed this mask your hiding in
But a quivering lip forms as fear takes its grip

Please o please, my butterfly
Don't you cry, you'll wreck your wings if they get wet
Please o please, my butterfly
Don't you hide, there's beauty in your colors yet.

Now you're feeling far from home
The streets are dim with dismay, you're in the unknown
Your beauty gets lost in the dark
Your heart breaks as you hear the world's cutting remarks

You wish that you would shine again
Shed this mask your hiding in
But a quivering lip forms as fear takes its grip

Please o please, my butterfly
Don't you cry, you'll wreck your wings if they get wet
Please o please, my butterfly
Don't you hide, there's beauty in your colors yet.

Spread your wings, to the world
bring hope for all the little boys and little girls
Lift your head, reach for the sky
O Please o please, my butterfly, don't you cry

Dear butterfly...you'll wreck your wings if they get
Dear butterfly...there's beauty in your colors yet
