"Black Butterly" lyrics - WILL DOWNING

Morning light, silken dream take flight
As the darkness gives way to the dawn
You've survived, now your moment has arrived
Now your dream has finally been born

Black Butterfly
Sailed across the waters
Tell your sons and daughters
What the struggle brings
Black Butterfly
Set the skies on fire
Rise up even higher
So the ageless winds of time
Can catch your wings

Ooh-ooh...

While you slept, the promise was unkept
But your faith was as sure as the stars
Now you're free, and the world has come to see
Just how proud and beautiful you are

Black Butterfly
Sailed across the waters
Tell your sons and daughters
What the struggle brings
Black Butterfly
Set the skies on fire
Rise up even higher
So the wind can catch your wings

Let the current lift your heart and send it soaring
Write your timeless message clear across the sky
So that all of us can read it
And remember, when we need it
That a dream conceived in truth can never die
Butterfly

'Cause now you're free, and the world has come to see
Just how proud and beautiful you are

Black Butterfly
Sailed across the waters
Tell your sons and your daughters
What the struggle brings
Black Butterfly
Set the skies, set them on fire
Rise up even higher
So the ageless winds of time
Can catch your wings

Fly
Butterfly
Yeah, yeah, yes
Fly
