Lyrics
Innocence doesn't last for long
But whatever don't kill you makes you strong
Night is always darkest right before the dawn
So you can let down your armor guard
Gotta make room for who you are
The calloused hands that had held on to your heart
Gotta be pulled apart
Like reflections on white powder snow
Your light was always bound to be shown
There's a beauty in your eyes, it's a wonder to behold
Butterfly, you will see
You're so much stronger than you think you are
You just have to believe
You can fly, mend your wings
Any moment you can free yourself
And fly out of the darkness, butterfly
Every branch broke on your family tree
You know you’re better than what they couldn't be
You don't have to practice anything that they preach
Those that don't matter often mind
And those that mind don't matter
Don't you pass them by
Don't you pass them by
Oh, you'll learn in time
You'll learn in time
Like reflections on white powder snow
Your light was always bound to be shown
There's a beauty in your eyes, it's a wonder to behold
Butterfly, you will see
You're so much stronger than you think you are
You just have to believe
You can fly, mend your wings
Any moment you can free yourself
And fly out of the darkness
A butterfly
Butterfly
There'll be times when your faith is gone
There'll be times when your faith is gone
Give it one more day
One more day
Keep holding on
Keep holding on
Oh, it's not what they say
It's what you believe that's gonna break the chains
Changing you to what you're gonna be
Butterfly
Now you see
Now you see
You're so much stronger than you think you are
Now that you believe
You can fly
You can fly
Spread your wings
Spread your wings
And in the moment you will free yourself
Fly out of the darkness
Butterfly
Butterfly
Fly out of the darkness, butterfly
