Common Butterfly
CHORUS: I am just a common butterfly
I rise up and fly away
I don't try to hide-cause' when I try
that's when I make the big mistakes
and I suffer tryin' not to feel the pain
I am just a common butterfly
laying' back, waiting' for my chance to shine
singin' my songs, ready to try
cause I'm just a common butterfly
I am just a common butterfly
Do you see my colors?
Do you see my unique design?
can you see me extend my painted, winking wings?
after I fall, tryin' to try
Can you see me now in the dark?
Do I stand out from the crowd?
Do I catch your eye like a shooting star?
Can you point me out?
CHORUS
The world is turnin' upside down
just get up, take a look around
it's time to breathe
it's time to breathe (just breathe)
Life us a climb
and it only gets harder
but when you beat and defy the odds
you only get stronger
CHORUS
Fly away
Wish away
Dream away
I am just a common butterfly
