I used to hide and keep inside
Afraid to show the world who I was
In shades of gray, I'd spend my days
So invisible because
They'd always put me down
Yeah, I let 'em keep me down
But look at me now, look at me now
Finally comin' out and I'm wantin' to fly
Gonna spread my wings, bright and colorful things
Let 'em take me up and touch the sky
They thought they knew me plain and shy
But all along I was a butterfly
Why live a life in black and white
Wrapped up in a safe little space
It's only fear that kept me here
With dreams too big for this small place
They liked me deaf and dumb
Had no idea what I've become
And look at me now, look at me now
Finally comin' out and I'm wantin' to fly
Gonna spread my wings, bright and colorful things
Let 'em take me up and touch the sky
They thought they knew me plain and shy
But all along I was a butterfly
These colors of mine are unique
Gonna be who I'm meant to be
Now I see it's all up to me
Look at me now, look at me now
Finally comin' out and I'm wantin' to fly
Gonna spread my wings, bright and colorful things
Let 'em take me up and touch the sky
They thought they knew me plain and shy
But all along I was a butterfly
Yeah, I am a butterfly (look at me now, look at me now, look at me now)
Oh yea
Yeah, I am a butterfly (look at me now, look at me now, look at me now)
Yeah, I am a butterfly (look at me now, look at me now, look at me now)
