Sister Soleil – Butterfly Feat. Joseph Arthur lyrics

i was a caterpillar
i was warm
i was soft
i was long

like the lies i told myself
to keep myself alive
like the lies i told myself
to keep myself alive

i dodged the foot of one strange man
after another
i was never good at finding
a good lover

like the lies i told myself
to keep myself alive
like the lies i told myself
to keep myself alive

no one can set you free
butterfly

you get your wings
when you learn how to dance
i've danced for such a long time
but i never learned the steps

like the lies i told myself
to keep myself alive
like the lies i told myself
to keep myself alive
