Journey – Butterfly (She Flies Alone) lyrics

She never knew the meaning of the word
Or ever heard or felt of freedom
All she knew was looking out from windows
Streaked with her own tears and her own shadows
Within a cage tried to escape the silent rage cuz
No one ever listened
Behind her back, she's both wings tied, she will break free
She will not be denied

And so she
She flies alone
High into the great unknown
And no one there to tell her where to go
So she flies, sweet butterfly

Counting every second when it's turned to hours
Seems like years, the wait's eternal
Finally pass the point of all that's sought you will break free
She will not be denied, oh no

And so she
She flies alone
High into the great unknown
And no one there to tell her where to go
So she flies, sweet butterfly

Within a cage, tried to escape the silent rage, where no one ever listened
Behind her back, she's both wings tied, she will break free
She will not be denied

And so she
She flies alone
High into the great unknown
She don't need me to tell her where to go
Sweet little butterfly

So she
She flies alone
Up into the great unknown
She don't need me to tell her where she goes

So she flies
Within a cage
Tried to escape the silent rage
Where no one ever listened
Behind her back, she's both wings tied
She will break free
She will break free, sweet butterfly
