When you love someone so deeply
They become your life 
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside 
Blindly I imagined I could 
Keep you under glass 
Now I understand to hold you 
I must open up my hands 
And watch you rise 

Chorus:
Spread your wings and prepare to fly 
For you have become a butterfly 
Fly abandonedly into the sun 
If you should return to me 
We truly were meant to be 
So spread your wings and fly 
Butterfly 

I have learned that beauty 
Has to flourish in the light 
Wild horses run unbridled 
Or their spirit dies 
You have given me the courage 
To be all that I can 
And truly feel your heart will 
Lead you back to me when you're 
Ready to land 

Chorus:
Spread your wings and prepare to fly 
For you have become a butterfly 
Fly abandonedly into the sun 
If you should return to me 
We truly were ment to be 
So spread your wings and fly 
Butterfly 

I can't pretend these tears 
Aren't over flowing steadily 
I can't prevent this hurt from 
Almost overtaking me 
ButI will stand and say goodbye 
For you'll never be mine 
Until you know the way it feels to fly 

Chorus:
Spread your wings and prepare to fly 
For you have become a butterfly 
Fly abandonedly into the sun 
If you should return to me 
We truly were ment to be 
So spread your wings and fly 
Butterfly 

Chorus:
Spread your wings and prepare to fly 
For you have become a butterfly 
Fly abandonedly into the sun 
If you should return to me 
We truly were ment to be 
So spread your wings and fly 
Butterfly 

So flutter through the sky 
Butterfly 
Spread your wings and fly 
Butterfly
