Lilac Butterfly is a song about change, transformation, and hope for the future.
lyrics
Lilac Butterfly, spread your wings and fly
Into a warmer day, find a better way
You're through crawlin' on the ground
Time to fly above the crowd
Spread your wings and fly, Lilac Butterfly
Damaged wings don't mean a thing, you're not broken
Embrace the change, you're rearranged, you've awoken
It's different now, but you know how to do it
Take in the sun, let your instincts run, you'll get through it
You're soft like a lullaby, tender as a breeze
Delicate beauty beyond belief
I won't ever hurt you even though I could
Precious things are fragile, often misunderstood
And the world can be crazy, the world can be unkind
But you'll find safety when you spread your wings and fly
Lilac Butterfly, spread your wings and fly
Into a warmer day, find a better way
You're through crawlin' on the ground
Time to fly above the crowd
Spread your wings and fly, Lilac Butterfly
Seeing with new eyes, a new perspective
It's time to embrace a new objective (x3)
Lilac Butterfly, spread your wings and fly
Into a warmer day, find a better way
You're through crawlin' on the ground
Time to fly above the crowd
Spread your wings and fly, Lilac Butterfly
