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
