The First Butterfly lyrics

In the land of caterpillars

With its dandelion pillars

For the worms there was no world

Beyond their town

They didn't know a bird could fly

They'd never seen a sunlit sky

Their eyes were always facing down

Their lives were fastened to the ground

In the land of caterpillars

With its dandelion pillars

But one young caterpillar saw

That they were blinded by their law

He spent His lifetime

Showing them the sky

He said he'd fly just like the birds

Some said 'Take me!' Some said 'Absurd!'

Yet 'Someday, I will fly,' he said

'But first I'll have to die"

In the land of caterpillars

With its dandelion pillars

Then they led him to a fallen leaf

To see the caterpillar chief

Who questioned him

And sentenced him to die

So he made him spin himself a tomb

But nature changed it to a womb

And he was born again to fly

And be the world's first Butterfly

In the land of caterpillars

With its dandelion pillars

Butterfly, Butterfly

Won't you please teach us to fly

You told us that you would someday

But we thought it was a lie

Then the wind breathed out a sigh

And filled the air with His reply

He whispered as He fluttered by

'You only have to die'

A Man lived very long ago

A Man of sorrow, a Man of woe

He came to open up our earthbound eye

What once was His cocoon

Is now a dark and empty tomb

The day He went to die for me

He showed me how to fly

You see, He showed me how to fly

Butterfly, butterfly

Won't you please teach us to fly

You told us that you would someday

But we thought it was a lie

Then the wind breathed out a sigh

And filled the air with his reply

He whispered as he fluttered by

'You only have to die'

'You only have to die'
