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
