You wore butterfly wings
And your hair was in rings
And you thought a Superman cape
Would be the perfect thing
So we velcroed it on in an awkward way
And it crumpled up your wings
You said, "You don't need a cape if you're already a butterfly"
Butterflies fly through the sky without a care in the world
I wish you could see as the years go by
No matter what, you're still that little girl
Take a look at those eyes
And the smile on your face
You will color this world
In your butterfly way
You were never meant to be anyone else
And you were truly made to fly
And you don't need a cape if you're already a butterfly
Butterflies fly through the sky without a care in the world
I wish you could see as the years go by
No matter what, you're still that little girl
And it's easy to believe you're beautiful when you're three years old
But when fifteen comes around, I hope that you still know
Butterflies fly through the sky without a care in the world
I wish you could see as the years go by
No matter what, you're still that little girl
You're still that girl, you're still that girl
You're still that girl, you're still that girl
Butterflies fly
You will colour this world
In the butterfly way
Butterflies fly
