Here I am - a Butterfly
Here I am - a butterfly
I live life in slow motion
Slowly crossing distant grounds
Safely passing oceans
So graciously I spread my wings
Conducting all the whispers of the wind

Here I am - a butterfly
Displaying all my beauty
I bring pleasure to your eyes
As if that was my duty
With all the vivid colours of my skin
I long to prove myself from deep within

I am free as I can be
Still I dream of being free
I am free as I can be
But in my dreams I’m flying free
If there’s more to being free
I want more than I can see

Here I am - a butterfly
In the hands of perfect stranger
Soon I am his chosen one
To keep so safely in his shelter
So proudly he shows me to the world
Convincing me that I’m the only girl

Here I am - a butterfly
In my mantle-piece-display
Pinned and marked for his collection
So I cannot fly away
From here my view is limited
Freedom-dream - you had me trapped instead
