Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Say, butterfly up in the sky

Got a story to say and I'll tell you why

I'm searchin'

[Verse 2]

You see, my friend, I need someone

Who feels and needs the same as I

I'm searchin'

[Verse 3]

What is right is right

What's wrong is wrong

I'm gonna sing my song

All day long

I'm searchin'

[Verse 4]

Searchin', searchin', searchin'

Searchin', searchin', searchin'

Searchin', searchin', searchin'

Searchin', searchin', searchin'

Searchin', searchin', searchin'

[Verse 5]

Now, what went down, I don't believe

And I just know I can't conceive

I'm searchin'

[Verse 6]

When love is gone and one believes

That love will come like brand new leaves

I'm searchin'

[Verse 7]

And then the day when I will say

That my soul lives a truthful way

I'm searchin'

[Verse 8]

Said, butterfly up in the sky

I got a story to say and I'll tell you why

I'm searchin'

[Verse 9]

You see, my friend, I need someone

Who feels and needs the same as I

I'm searchin'

[Verse 10]

Searchin', searchin', searchin'

Searchin', searchin', searchin'

Searchin', searchin', searchin'

Searchin', searchin', searchin'

Searchin', searchin', searchin'

[Verse 11]

Searchin', searchin', searchin'

Searchin', searchin', searchin'

Searchin', searchin', searchin'

Searchin', searchin', searchin'

[Verse 12]

Said, butterfly up in the sky

I got a story to say and I'll tell you why

I'm searchin'

[Verse 13]

Searchin' for the right love

Searchin' for the right mind

Searchin' for a new love

Searchin' for the true sign

Searchin' for a mission

Searchin' for permission

Searchin' for my true side
