Dancing In Ecstacy: Smile, Dear

My Butterflies

Beautiful butterflies can't see their wings and neither can you

Maybe that's why you can't see the truth

Because I see your colors and intricate designs

But you fill the atmosphere with your empty sighs

Lift your head up because you're missing the world

You can't see light because you're lost in a whirl

There is no need to be jealous of her

Why do you keep your eyes on the worms in the dirt

You can't see the beauty around you like that

When you're not even paying attention to where you're at

So let your eyes wander from the darkness and night

Because, sweetheart, I've heard your heartbreaking cry

And I'm here to tell you that you're not alone

There's the path right there, I've kicked away all the stones

That might trip you up along the way to the light

Because, darling, I've heard that empty sigh

So here are some flowers to put in your hair

Forget the diamonds, you don't need them my dear

You shine brighter than the stars in the sky

And really, you don't even need to try

Please take this as some motivation

To get past all your dreary inhibitions

You were never alone from the very start

Because I was always here to help you fight the war

It's alright, dear, you can smile now

Because you've fought so hard and I'm so proud

But it's over and you can take a rest

I promise you haven't come out of it anything less

Beautiful butterflies can't see their wings and neither can you

So look into the mirror and see the truth
