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 (there'll be times) When your faith is gone (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 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
