Becoming a Butterfly

The hour has finally found me It's time to leave this shape behind I'll fold myself into a cocoon Got one last thing to tell me, darling?

There was no way around this Here upon this lonely branch I'll surrender to a gentle sleep And when my eyes open again I'll rise with wings That look a little like yours

I'll inherit the sky I'll fly beyond the oceans While your oars break through the waves I'll keep you in my sight from far away

When you're stretched out by the water Resting underneath the sun I'll move around you like the wind My wings will fill the horizon And you'll love me once again

There's no escaping what we become They'll never understand us anyway So let's take the road that's ours And take me there with you

Leave the sadness in their hands Let them dance behind their masks When the sun goes down You and I will still be smiling Don't let them see us

Hold my hand one more time And kiss me on the forehead I don't wanna make this journey alone I don't know what waits for me in there

My vision's slowly fading I let sleep take me With nothing but you in my thoughts A single drop gathers in my eye

Stay with me a little longer My wings are almost here I'm becoming a butterfly I'm becoming more like you
