Lyrics
Precious day, lights your way
Rest your wings
Stay a while
You're the sun in my sky, butterfly
You don't know the peace you bring
You show me the secrets and the ways
To love every moment of the day
And flowers you kiss all come to life
Soaring winds, rainbow waves
Touch my mind
Feels so fine
When you're gone, people cry, butterfly
Butterfly...
To give all the love we know
To see all the light that we can see
And teach all our children not to lie
And maybe one day we'll fly
Soaring wings, rainbow waves
Touch my mind
