Butterfly

Butterfly 
you lived under a colorless sky 
on broken wings 
you could not fly 
Fly Butterfly 
give all you have with grace and try 
No nights can bring you down 
no gray skies can take away the flight 
So fly butterfly 
Fly away from the broken pieces of the sky 
Light up the dawn with your will 
you must to, to survive 
fly from the corners of your soul 
fly butterfly out into the colored nights 
leave all those colorless days behind 
fly butterfly 
to mend those broken wings
