Butterfly
My life came rumbling,tumbling down
full of grief
and pain all around
I cry out,I need someone
but no help came,
cause your on the run
I need a shoulder,one or two
to help me see these days go thru
bring back time,the days that were
cause when I turn,your not there
just let me take your pain inside
if it takes that,to keep you alive
cause the butterfly,that sheds it's cocoon
then starts to come alive,and bloom
it tries and tries to learn to fly
then up and away thru the skies.
but the butterfly that's lost her wings
can no longer choose to sing.....
Last night I glimpsed my cocoon
so soft and cold like the moon
so wrap around me,one more time
let me near,let me hide
a butterfly that can not fly
loses hope,then finely dies
take back this tiny little thing
and hold it tenderly
keep her warm and safe
thru all eternity...........
