Ex Wife - Butterfly

You have changed, you have grown
This is the way, the path to go

Will you be a peacock?
Maybe a speckled wood?
A swallowtail?
Or a graceful red admiral?

Learn to suck, to eat
And taste with your feet
Fly, fly
Like a butterfly
Into the sky
Way up high
Fly, fly
Like a butterfly
Wordless beauty
Dignified

Full of grace
Your colours blend in
Feeling connected
To everything
You don't realise
The flap of your wings
Moves the air
Changes everything

The air will turn cold
You're going to die
Or you can try
To hibernate or even migrate
Head south again, turn to the east
Rise up inside, feeling strong
Knowing inside that you belong

Will you be a marble white?
Or a painted lady?
A chequered skipper?
Or a powerful purple emperor?

Learn to suck, to eat
To taste with your feet
Fly, fly, like a butterfly
Into the sky, way up high
Fly, fly, like a butterfly
Wordless beauty, dignified

Full of grace
Your colours blend in
Feeling connected
To everything
You don't realise
The flap of your wings
Moves the air
Changes everything

Feasting on flowers
Tasting new twigs
Finding sweet nectar
Trying ripe figs
Seeking out moisture
Wherever you go
Alive in the moment
Letting it flow

Rising up
And feeling so strong
Knowing inside
That you will belong
Wondering how
This came to be
You did it yourself, girl
Now you can be free
