Butterflies

In my butterfly boat
Set me afloat
Until I reach the top
And the stars all drop
Into the sea
Let me be free
Until I finally see
All of my dreams
Through the lies
On the backs of butterflies

Take me away
To the starry skies
On the backs of butterflies 
On the backs of butterflies
Fly me afar
To the nearest star
On the backs of butterflies 
On the backs of butterflies

Setting asail
In my butterfly boat
I'll gently float
Into the sky
I'll navigate 
The milky way
Until my sunlit day 
Finally arrives
On the back of butterflies

Take me away
To the starry skies
On the backs of butterflies 
On the backs of butterflies
Fly me afar
To the nearest star
On the backs of butterflies 
On the backs of butterflies


When I arrive 
In my butterfly boat
Somewhere remote
I'll finally find
My butterflies
Then in my mind
I'll finally know 
Where I should go 
With my life

Take me away
To the starry skies
On the backs of butterflies 
On the backs of butterflies
Fly me afar
To the nearest star
On the backs of butterflies 
On the backs of butterflies

These are lyrics to a song. The background music can be found by looking up Exordiar on YouTube. This one is song #4.
