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 Oh, 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 Oh, 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 overflowing 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 Oh, fly abandonedly into the sun (Fly to the sun) If you should return to me (I will know you were mine) We truly were meant to be So spread your wings and fly (Spread your wings and fly) Butterfly
Spread your wings and prepare to fly For you have become a butterfly Oh, 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
