You're the little butterfly
I knew from stories.
Flapping your wings
Unwittingly setting off a tornado elsewhere
Flying further without knowing
That you the were the source of this chaos.

You're the little butterfly
I saw today, beautiful and elegant
Too beautiful and fragile to touch.
Knowing I'd never see you again if I let you go now.
But I let you fly away.
Realizing you're the small cause that brought chaos over my life.

You're the little butterfly
I heard flapping its wings today.
Wild and free
Innocent and pure
Being somewhere in this world
Where I can't see you.

You're just a little blue butterfly.
But you're still having a powerful effect on me I've never felt before.

Please stop flapping your wings
To save me from the tornado.
