Morning light, silken dream to flight As the darkness gave way to dawn You've survived, now your moment has arrived Now your dream has finally been born
Chorus: Black Butterfly, sailed across the waters tell your sons and daughters what the struggle brings Black Butterfly, set the skies on fire rise up even higher so the ageless winds of time can catch your wings
ooh...ooh
While you slept, the promise was unkept But your faith was as sure as the stars Now you're free, and the world has come to see Just how proud and beautiful you are
Chorus
Let the current lift your heart and send it soaring Write the timeless message clear across the sky So that all of can read it and remember when we need it That a dream conceived in truth can never die Butterfly
Cause now that you're free and the world has come to see Just how proud and beautiful you are
