BUTTERFLY
Mariah Carey

When you love someone so deeply they become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imagined I could keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open up my hands and watch you rise

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Oooh, fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly, butterfly

I have learned that beauty has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled or their spirit dies
You have given me the courage to be all that I can
And I truly feel your heart will lead you
Back to me when you're ready to land

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Oooh, fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly, butterfly

I can't pretend these tears aren't overflowing steadily
I can't prevent this hurt from almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye for you'll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Oooh, fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly, butterfly

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Oooh, fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly, butterfly
So fly into the sky, butterfly
Fly... spread your wings and fly, butterfly
