Butterfly
You are like a butterfly,
You flutter here, you flutter there,
Just like a butterfly
You flutter everywhere
And where you come to rest,
That's where I want to be
My pretty little butterfly.
To cage a butterfly or clip it's wings
Is not the thing to do
As I know you see that butterflies are free
And they are all the more beautiful because they are free.
But to be where a butterfly comes to rest,
Who could ask for more,
Except a fool who is too blind to see
How beautiful a butterfly can be,
Especially one that is free to be what it wants to be
