Jeff Gordon - Origami Butterfly

You were quirky as a kid
And everyone loved you
You had an infectious laugh
And always looked on the bright side

It was so unfair and senseless
Destined to a world of hallucination
Why your mind had to take the detour
Swept away like sand in an ocean tide

Origami Butterfly
Croquet in the back yard
Going on a Sunday drive
With mom and dad
Your yellow hair blowin' in the wind
What happened to you is a sin
And it hurts too much to think
Who you might have been

Voices in your head persistent
Became your reality
Not understanding what is real
Life has not been fair to you

Journals filled with nonsense pages
Not like the kid I used to know
You were smart beyond your years
Most people don't even have a clue

Origami Butterfly
Croquet in the back yard
Going on a Sunday drive
With mom and dad
Your yellow hair blowin' in the wind
What happened to you is a sin
And it hurts too much to think
Who you might have been
