Butterfly

Spread your wings,
Time to fly.
Say goodbye to what you know as hell.
Head for the horizon,
So clear and blue.

Put your past behind you,
It's where it belongs.
The new day is dawning,
A new life ahead is ready to rise.

Forget those who have scorned you,
Or burned you along the way.
Tomorrow is another day,
To spread your wings and fly.

Life doesn't last forever,
Soon your flight will be done.
So look in to the blazing sun,
And realise what you could become.

Something beautiful and strong,
full of life and care free.
Never mind the beasts on the way,
They'll never know the strength inside.
To let us fly,
To let us be free.
