Chrysalis

Once upon a time in a forest
Two friends were playing joyfully
Climbing rocks all day till darkness
Mesmerized by stars above the trees

Nothing could take you away from me
And no one could take me away from you

Growing up, lost in the wilderness
Crawling around from tree to tree
Always together in joy or sadness
But life has so much more to see

When hopes and dreams unite
You’ll be born again
From the ashes you’ll rise
Like the wind beneath your wings
You fly away

You were born to fly butterfly
Far away you’ll fly butterfly
You are free to fly butterfly
Spread your wings and fly…

Brothers and sisters
Heart and soul united
By the sword of ignorance and prejudice
We’ll be divided
​
New days arise over a brand new world
Red coloured wings glide above and swirl
Fluttering with pride and heart as pure as pearl
Blue wings are left behind shinning red mirrors

Spread your wings like nations raise their flag

The blind can see beyond the tones and shades of life
Those blessed with open eyes polish their narrow mind
Prejudice once learned, hatred runs in your veins
Bigotry lines will rhyme in your anthems of shame

Spread your wings like nations raise their flag
Raise their flag
Spread your wings like nations wave their flag

Entangled in a web that never really caught your eyes
The more you try to free yourself
The more it pulls you tight
True wonders of nature are not always on your side
You can scream, cry, fight back
You‘re just a butterfly

Dark eyes in the corner waiting to see the signs
Awaken by vibrations of your softest sigh
Slowly approaching enjoying your desperate fight
In the eyes of the spider
You’re just another butterfly

All you took for granted is lost
Only then you realize
All your friends have gone now
No one would stand by your side
The velvet covering your wings
That built your circle and your pride
Won’t make much of a difference
On the day you die

Once you give in to all this madness
Blue angels you’d never hoped to see
One last look that fills your heart with sadness
He gave his life to set you free

Who are you to see what lies within my heart?
And who’s to judge me by the colour of my wings?
Who are you to know what lies deep in my soul?
And who’s to judge me by the colour of my wings?
What difference does it make if we can fly away?
The colours of our wings
What differences does it make once we fly away

You were born to fly butterfly
Far away you’ll fly butterfly
You are free to fly butterfly
Spread your wings and fly…
Little butterfly
