When you love someone so deeply they become your life It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside Blindly, I imagined I could keep you under-glass Now, I understand, to hold you, I must open-up my hand and watch you rise Spread your wings, and prepare to fly (fly) For you have become a butterfly Oh, fly, abundantly, into the Sun If you should return to me We truly were meant to be So, spread your wings and fly, butterfly I have learned that beauty has to flourish in the light Wild horses run, unbridled, or their spirit dies You have given me the courage to be all that I can And I truly feel your heart will lead you back to me, when you're ready to land Spread your wings and prepare to fly (fly) For you have become a butterfly Oh, fly, abundantly, into the Sun (to the Sun) If you should return to me (and if you should return to me) We truly were meant to be (we were meant to be) So, spread your wings and fly, butterfly (butterfly) I can't pretend these tears aren't overflowing steadily No, I can't prevent this hurt from almost over-taking me But I will stand and say "Good-bye" For you'll never be mine until you know the way it feels to fly Spread your wings and prepare to fly For you have become a butterfly Oh, fly, abundantly, into the Sun (fly, to the Sun) If you should return to me (I will know you're mine) We truly were meant to be So, spread your wings and fly, butterfly (my butterfly) Spread your wings, and prepare to fly (fly) For you have become a butterfly Oh, fly, abundantly, into the Sun If you should return to me We truly were meant to be So spread your wings and fly, butterfly So, flutter, through the sky, butterfly Spread your wings, and fly, butterfly
