Mine are like the wings of a butterfly

A dusty pair so,

Don't you touch them or I'll never fly anywhere



And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by



Ever see the wings of a dragonfly?

Paper-thin and cellophane

And quickly broken like the will to live for a mind in pain



And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by



I cannot change what is and

I cannot make it die

But I can love with all my heart

The wretches gone awry



And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by



You know I can be rid of my time and the moon will always shine

'Cause he knows I need him to walk this vile and crooked line



And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by



And you can own all the light in the world and still be blind

And lie and hide away from the people in the world and still be kind



And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by



I cannot change what is and

I cannot make it die

But I can love with all my heart

The wretches gone awry



And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by



All I ask is you let me be to live like I do

I'll never be part but someday I will pass on through



And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by



You can pull the wings from a dragonfly

And you can kill the flight of a butterfly

But you can't harm me for I live with the freedom to decide



And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by



You cannot change what is and

You cannot make it die

But you can love with all your heart

The wretches gone awry



Say



You cannot change what is and

You cannot make it die

But you can love with all your heart

The wretches gone awry



Yes the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by
