Butterfly's Wing

A flutter in Rio, Tornado in Texas; a whisper connecting all things

How small is the change but how much it affects us; how little the care it can bring

A flutter in the city , depression in Nexus, our loss is another man’s gain

What’s more is the pity, that no one respects us; enough to take care of the pain

When one small gesture of love can become the start of it all

Chorus:

And the world can rest on a butterfly’s wing

From the buttons they press to the bells they can ring

Whoever would guess from such innocent things

That the world can rest, rest on a butterfly’s wing

A switch in the desert the protocol is followed; a mushroom-like cloud fills our screen

An itch in the west, their assurances hollow: and fear like a cloud fills our dreams

Dividing to conquer, we’re in this together; so where are you now that it hurts

For richer, for poorer, we never know whether; together’s for better or worse

When one small turn of the tide, can take hold of the rise and the fall

A smile to a stranger, a fleeting encounter; spreads joy like a virus spreads ill

No thought for the danger, or what it amounts to; communion if ever you will

One man with a dream, one fight against evil; one search for the peace that we seek

Self-evident truth, that all are born equal; one voice if together we speak

When one, small, step for a man is a giant leap for us all
