When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside

Blindly I imaged I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you

I must open my hands
And watch you rise


[Chorus:]
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly

Fly abandonedly 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 truly feel your heart will
Lead you back to me when you're
Ready to land


[Chorus]


I can't pretend these tears
Aren't overflowing steadily
I can't prevent this hurt from

Almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye
For you'll never be mine

Until you know the way it feels to fly

[Chorus]


So flutter through the sky
Butterfly

Spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
