LYRIC FOR SALE

By Bernard Morris

(verse 1)
I have no heavy burden of the human form
For me now delicate fragile wings are the norm
I see all things now in kaleidoscopic light
The patterns on my wings are beautiful and bright

(chorus)
Butterfly oh butterfly I’ve come back as a butterfly
No other creature would I have preferred
Butterfly oh butterfly so glad I am a butterfly
I’m the most gorgeous creature in the world

(verse 2)
A leaf to my human eyes was a simple green
But now the veins they shimmer in a neon scene
With my antennae I taste nectar in the air
I’ve come back as a butterfly I am aware

(chorus)
Butterfly oh butterfly I’ve come back as a butterfly
No other creature would I have preferred
Butterfly oh butterfly so glad I am a butterfly
I’m the most gorgeous creature in the world

(bridge)
Iridescent butterfly that’s what I’ve come back as
Elusive and quick to fly away
Delicate and flimsy resting on a fingertip
Or in the sky in the month of May

(verse 3)
I love the way my wings they catch the crispy air
They flap and flutter and I can fly anywhere
I dip and loop and do a sudden dizzy arc
I playfully flutter my wings until the dark

(chorus)
Butterfly oh butterfly I’ve come back as a butterfly
No other creature would I have preferred
Butterfly oh butterfly so glad I am a butterfly
I’m the most gorgeous creature in the world
