Butterfly Kisses
There's one thing I know,
That I hold close to me
My dreams are drifting
Off and onto the sea
I stand at the shore
The cool wind in my hair
And I remember one spring
You were here then
I felt your butterfly kisses
Shining over me
My butterfly kisses mean so much to me
I promise that I
Shall never let go.
My butterfly kisses
I love you so.
The waves crash on the rocks
The white twirling waves
You hold me so close
So I never stray
So close to the edge,
And I hold on tight
Knowing you're my anchor
My anchor
On this cold spring night
I felt your butterfly kisses
Shining over me
My butterfly kisses mean so much to me
I promise that I
Shall never let go.
My butterfly kisses
I love you so.
Oh my butterfly kisses
On the cold stormy nights
Oh my butterfly kisses
Feel like home
You're butterfly kisses
Warm me to the core
And our butterfly kisses will last
On and on
No matter if the world may stop
No matter if I'm in L.A or
Somewhere you can't reach me
Remember, my darling
I will always love your
Butterfly kisses
Like A Butterfly
Like a butterfly
I want to fly
I want to flap and spread my wings
From branch to branch
From flower to flower
Like a butterfly
I am tender and fragile
I am the promise of the future
Whose life is now bleak
In the streets of the city
Children vanish
In the homes
Children are abused and killed
In the schools
Children are beaten and molested
By those they trust
Like a butterfly
With wings cut
I cannot fly
I cannot not flap and spread my wings
From flower to flower
Instead...
I stand chained
My dreams and aspirations
Long lost
My future
Uncertain
Like a butterfly
Wings without
I cry for freedom
Freedom from child labour
Freedom from sexual exploitation
Freedom from discrimination
Like a butterfly
A beautiful butterfly
With wings outstretched
With wings flapping
I will fly away
Displaying my beautiful colours
To all and sundry
I know I will
I am the hope of the child
I am the butterfly
The beautiful butterfly
With beautiful colours.
