As i watch the butterfly,
Fly high-up into the sky,
I wish that I had wings,
So I could try,
Try to fly.
Fly far, far away,
From this place that I come from,
From this place of sorrow and grief.
To a new place,
with new beliefs.
To a place with no tears,
No fears,
Where no one dies,
Just....
Some butterflies...
