Come out-reach out 
Help someone under clouds over cast 
That's what life's about 
Iron butteries can't fly 
Oh, IRON BUTTERFLY, 
IRON BUTTERFLY 

The shadow is as important 
As the light 
There's something we learn in both 
Oh, cast the showdows 
From your saddened eyes 
Iron butterflies can't fly 
Oh, yea IRON BUTTERFLY 

Polish away rusty composition 
Polluted metallic can't have-can not 
Oh, smile away poisoned thoughts 
IRON BUTTERFLY 
Iron butteries can't fly 

The shadow has definate purpose 
For understanding 
The simple lesson of trust 
Oh, dark shadows 
Never, never last long 
It's time to be tough 
IRON BUTTERFLY 
IRON BUTTERFLY 

It's universal in thought 
Light and dark 
Ther's lessons in both 
When we ask for help 
Through God's transition 
We learn to fly 
Oh, IRON BUTTERFLY 
Iron butterflies can't fly
