A song written by Dave Matthews for inclusion in the film “Because of Winn-Dixie,” in which he played the owner of a pet shop.
The song was first officially release as a live recording on a Dave Matthews Band album as part of The Complete Weekend on the Rocks box set.
You are like a butterfly
A caterpillar's dream to fly
So bust out of this old cocoon
And dry your wings off
Butterfly
Go ahead and fly
It's always such a lonely loom
Or sudden like a broken bone
You know luck won't always come along
But dry your tears away
Butterfly
Go ahead and fly
Dry your tears away
Butterfly
Don't you cry
Butterfly was written by Dave Matthews.
Dave Matthews Band released Butterfly on Mon Dec 12 2005.
