Black Butterfly

(album: Let's Hear It For The Boy - 1984)

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

Black Butterfly, sail 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, sail 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 skies
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, sail across the waters
Tell your sons and 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
