Swallowtail Butterfly

Raise my hand for a moment

Quiver and shake, my resolve is broken

I've come to this place

Feeling so lost and lonely

The blue, blue sky, now it mocks me

Grab my dreams, throw away regret

I store them deep down inside my soul

Light summer breeze

Blows through the grass, it trembles

Far away I will travel

Growing slowly, deep inside me

There's a hurt I can't hide

Illusion, confusion takes hold, I'm so tired

Sheltered beneath the shadow of a dream

You're hiding now behind the grey of a distant cloud

A trick of light, don't know the reason why

You said goodbye, my butterfly

Live in a world full of shadows

Your senses grow numb to the pain and sorrow

Time will recede, colors will fade to darkness

And so I wait for your forgiveness

And I can't stop what I'm feeling

I'm a creature of need

Will the flow of these tears bring relief?

I'm crying

No matter where you travel, near or far

A ray of hope will guide you after the light of dawn

A song of love I hear within my heart

A gift of life and hope wherever you are, oh

I run down this dark street

In these shoes too big for my small feet

But I won't cry. I ignore the pain now, somehow

Follow this road, going back where I started

But these lands are uncharted

Growing slowly, deep inside me

There's a magic I feel

And it's time now to spread my wings wide

I'm flying

I couldn't see my careless apathy

My memories of you they're flowing so endlessly

This song of love I hear within my heart

I feel it when I sing

I dedicate this song to you my love

I know I'll find the thing I've searched for so long
