butterfly

I know you know it now

You’ve got it figured out

I’m only human

I’m only human after all

Answers were easier then

I’d little chance of being wrong

These days are different and

I’m only human after all

 

We don’t have to see eye to eye

You will always be a friend of mine

 

So go where you must go

Be who you need to be

I’ll meet you on the road

Tell me what you see

Butterfly, my butterfly

 

I would be lying to

Pretend I want to lose

Having you with me

I want you with me, yes I do

But if I know anything

It’s there’s always beauty yet to come

So I’ll let you go since

I know you’re coming back, my love

 

And I’ll be waiting with bated breath

To hear you laughing close again

 

CHORUS

 

Oh, now the time has come and I am not afraid

To see your wings unfold

Against the brightness of the sun

And you will soar - You will soar

 

So be who you need to be

I’ll meet you on the road

You can tell me what you see

Go where you must go

Be who you need to be

Show me what you make

Of all of your good dreams

Butterfly, my butterfly


one day

It’s hard to sing when you’re crying

Hard to leave when you’re tied down

It’s hard to sleep when you’re fighting

For your life like you are right now

There’s only so much more you can stomach

Though it’s more than you thought

And you only keep moving

By the grace of God

 

You’re doing one day

One breath

One prayer

One thing at a time

One word

One step

One hope

In a coming light

Don’t try to swallow the ocean

Keep doing one day

Til one day you’re free

 

You could escape in a daydream

But you’d wind up right back here

Up to your waist in the maybes

No use hiding on the back stairs

Hear the peculiar voice in the forest

Calling open the doors

It’ll take a few battles

To win this war

 

CHORUS

 

Oh, I see you laughing on the other side

Where the walls have tumbled and the flowers grow wild

Oh, I see you laughing on the other side

With your broken heart under open sky

 

You’re doing one day

One breath

One prayer

One thing at a time

One word

One step

One hope

In a coming light

One day

One breath

One prayer

One thing at a time

One word

One step

One hope

In a coming light

Don’t try to swallow the ocean

Keep doing one day

Til one day you’re free

One day you’re free


 


holy ground

You think singers and dreamers

Invent escape from the real

Oh, but they have eyes to see

What must be revealed

There's a kingdom before us 

Whose gate is always open

Looks like earth and sounds like human voices

And it feels like heaven

 

Holy, holy

All that is within us

All that is without

All of life is holy ground

 

If your compass is pointing

To wealth and fame it has been altered

There is only one true north

One good road to follow

If you lift your eyes you'll find

The view is ever wider

Til the vanities fade and your love burns

Brighter and brighter

 

CHORUS

 

We'll take our shoes off

Honor the moments of our days

Find our treasure 

When we give our love away

What a gift to hold this in our hands

Behold the beauty

See the face of God 

In a grain of sand

 

CHORUS
