When you love someone so deep that they become your lifeIt's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears insideBlindly I imagined I could keep you under glassNow I understand to hold you I must open up my handsAnd watch you rise
(Spread your wings and prepare to fly)(For you have become a butterfly)Oh-oh-oh, fly abandonedly into the sunIf you should return to meWe truly were meant to beSo spread your wings and flyButterfly
I have learned that beauty has to flourish in the lightWild horses run unbridled or their spirit diesYou have given me the courage to be all that I canAnd I truly feel your heart will lead you back to meWhen you're ready to land
(Spread your wings and prepare to fly)(For you have become a butterfly)Oh-oh-oh, fly abandonedly into the sunIf you should return to me (if you should return to me)We truly were meant to be (we truly were meant to be)So spread your wings and fly (spread your wings)Butterfly
I can't pretend these tears aren't over flowing steadilyI can't prevent this hurt from almost overtaking meBut I will stand and say goodbye for you'll never be mineUntil you know the way it feels to fly
(Spread your wings and prepare to fly)(For you have become a butterfly)Oh-oh-oh, fly abandonedly into the sunIf you should return to meWe know you're mine (we truly were meant to be)So spread your wings and flyButterfly (my butterfly)
(Spread your wings and prepare to fly)(For you have become a butterfly)Oh-oh-oh, fly abandonedly into the sunIf you should return to meWe truly were meant to beSo spread your wings and flyButterfly (spread your wings butterfly)
So flutter through the skyButterfly, flySpread your wings and flyButterfly
