Broken Wing
Broken wing
Of the blue butterfly
Broken wing
Falling, falling
There high above in the clouds
Up there in the shining great sun
The lone full butterfly flutters
Struggling to float above us all
Tumbling down
Tumbling downwards toward the ground
I the maggot, witness it all
As the butterfly so broken
Falls upon my back
Fate saved the butterfly that day
The warmth of her heart
Gave me the maggot, majestic wings
Reborn and strong was I
I carried her upon my back
We soared again on high
Broken spirits In clouds of misty love
She saw beauty in the mud
I saw beauty in the broken
We, the ones who fly
Where overcome
My tears of joy at this winged dance of love
Weighed heavily on us
We drowned inside these love drops
The maggot and the butterfly
We made a timeless grand love story
For this we paid the price and died
In a graveyard of tears
