Black Butterfly

Everything was easy
When I was a caterpillar
Changing, growing, thriving
I had a childhood to remember
Black butterfly I am now

Make a wish, make a wish
Black butterfly I am now
Kiss me, don't be selfish
My wings are our vow

From the cocoon where I was born
Announced by the sound of the horn
The changes that are happening in me
When I hang happily from a tree

In this world when my flight begins
Through forests and trees
In this social disease
They all forgot to say "please"

The wind carries me through the fields
The rain covers my black wings
I try to remember my dreams
Everything is gone, it seems

A flicker of life I give you
To fly together through
Do you care at all?
We have nowhere else to fall

And black butterfly I am now
Oh Lord, kiss me, kiss me somehow
Because my day is over now
No sorrow, wholly bow

In this world when my flight begins
Through forests and trees
In this social disease
They all forgot to say "please"
