If Only

If only i were , a butterfly

   So wild and carefree.

  For, if i were a butterfly,

  i would fly away from

     my troubles and sorrows.

    I'd fly away and

      ride the breeze.

  Letting it carry me,

    anywhere it pleased.

     Oh what a life,
       
         i'd ive.

   If only i were a

       butterfly.

   No more cloudy days,

     of frustration and worry.

   Only sunny days of

     being wild and carefree.

       If only,

        I were a butterfly.
