Here I am - a Butterfly

Here I am - a butterfly

I live life in slow motion

Slowly crossing distant grounds

Safely passing oceans

So graciously I spread my wings

Conducting all the whispers of the wind



Here I am - a butterfly

Displaying all my beauty

I bring pleasure to your eyes

As if that was my duty

With all the vivid colours of my skin

I long to prove myself from deep within



I am free as I can be

Still I dream of being free

I am free as I can be

But in my dreams Im flying free

If theres more to being free

I want more than I can see



Here I am - a butterfly

In the hands of perfect stranger

Soon I am his chosen one

To keep so safely in his shelter

So proudly he shows me to the world

Convincing me that Im the only girl



Here I am - a butterfly

In my mantle-piece-display

Pinned and marked for his collection

So I cannot fly away

From here my view is limited

Freedom-dream - you had me trapped instead
