Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

When you love someone so deeply
They become your life 
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside 
Blindly I imagined I could 
Keep you under glass 
Now I understand to hold you 
I must open up 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 over flowing steadily 
I can't prevent this hurt from 
Almost overtaking me 
ButI will stand and say goodbye 
For you'll never be mine 
Until you know the way it feels to fly 

[Chorus]

[Chorus: x2]

So flutter through the sky 
Butterfly 
Spread your wings and fly 
Butterfly
