Butterfly Lyrics

Crawling along, close to the ground

No looking up, only looking around

So satisfied with the love that surrounded me

But I was unhappy, the older I grew

When I was younger, I never knew

The sky was such an attractive shade of blue

Now I'm green with envy

Of all the beautiful creatures on earth

Why should they fly so freely?

While I'm stuck down here in the dirt

I look at everyone I know

Do the wings on their backs show

What they're worth?

What they're worth

Crawling along at the speed of the world

That was enough for one little girl

The world was her oyster

But she realized, she was no pearl

Now it's getting lonely here on the ground

Seems that I've lost everything I once found

If I can't fly then maybe I'd rather drown

Now I'm green with envy

Of all the beautiful creatures on earth

Why should they fly so freely?

While I'm stuck down here in the dirt

I look at everyone I know

Do the wings on their backs show

What they're worth?

What they're worth
