Life can be hard

Life can be so wrong

Sometimes you cant go that extra yard

You try to walk

You try to sing a song

And yet you cant talk

Until you learn to fly high

I need to learn how to fly

I must reach for the sky

Yet one thing Ive learned

No matter how Ive yearned

I cant reach the sky

Without the wings of a butterfly



I need to use wings

Only then can I reach the sky

Ive got to learn how to fly

So I can reach the sky

And yet I know

I cant reach the sky

Without the wings of a butterfly



Throughout my life

Ive learned one thing

That even in strife

You can fly

So maybe if

You take me into your arms

We can reach the sky

And fly so high

On the wings of a butterfly



I need to use wings

Only then can I reach the sky

Ive got to learn how to fly

So I can reach the sky

And yet I know

I cant reach the sky

Without the wings of a butterfly



Youve got your wings

With them you touch the sky

You can do many things

When I can only dream

If I say I love you

Will you know what I mean

Then will you take into your arms

And teach me to fly

On the wings of a butterfly



I need to use wings

Only then can I reach the sky

Ive got to learn how to fly

So I can reach the sky

And yet I know

I cant reach the sky

Without the wings of a butterfly



Youve taught me something

That Ill never forget

Youve taught me one thing

Thats helped me get by

That when I truly try

I can really fly

Even on my own

I can reach the sky

I dont even need to fly

On the wings of a butterfly



I dont need to use wings

On my own I can reach the sky

I dont need to fly

Cause I can touch the sky

And yet I know

I can always reach the sky

On the wings of a-

The wings of a-

On the wings of a butterfly



You taught me to fly
