When you love someone so deeply, they become your life It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside Lonely I imagined how I could keep you under glass Now I understand to hold you I must open up my hands and want you right Spread your wings and prepare to fly, for you to become a butterfly Oh, a fly about to leap into the sun If you should return to me, we truly were meant to be So I'll spread your wings and fly, butterfly I have learned that beauty has to flourish in the light While horses run and bridle all that's bearing you by You've given me the courage to be all that I can And I truly feel your heart will lead you back to me when you're ready to Spread your wings and prepare to fly, for you to become a butterfly Oh, a fly about to leap into the sun If you should return to me, we truly were meant to be So I'll spread your wings and fly, butterfly I can't pretend these tears are never flowing steadily I can't prevent this hurt from almost overtaking me I will say goodbye, but you'll never be mine Until you know the way it feels Spread your wings and prepare to fly, for you to become a butterfly Oh, a fly about to leap into the sun If you should return to me, we truly were meant to be So I'll spread your wings and fly, butterfly For you to become a butterfly Oh, a fly about to leap into the sun If you should return to me, we truly were meant to be So I'll spread your wings and fly, butterfly So I'll flutter through the sky, butterfly Fly Spread your wings and fly, butterfly Thank you for watching!
