Oh, beautiful butterfly
How you have transformed
From a mere larval caterpillar
Into an angel of the flowers
With wings of many colors
That flutter you around from petal to petal
on those most beautiful blossoms
Oh you, fly free, fly free
To the sun and to the moon
With your wings of many colors, that tell me who you are
Like the position in the sky for the name of a star
Fly free, fly free
To the sun and to the moon
With wings that are more beautiful dancing on the wind
Than behind any glass and pinned
Oh, angel of the flowers
Will you dance for us?
Dance for us on the cool adagio breezes
For it surely would please us
Oh you, dance free, dance free
Dance on the flowers
Demi-pointe on the dandelions
Plié on the pansies
Dance free, dance free
Dance on the flowers
Leap high over the daisies
To tap dance on the tulips
Oh, lovely lady
You are a gift to this world
To every little boy and little girl
With a true beauty that abounds
That brings them smiles whenever you are around
Oh you, fly free, fly free
Above the earth and below the sky
That has the secrets of why your beauty
will never die
With whispers of mortality that are barely a sigh
Fly free, fly free
Above the earth and below the sky
In between the ethers of you and I
Where your immortality must lie
Oh, beautiful butterfly
We are truly blessed
To have your presence amongst us
With wing's that have differing colors
as beautiful as a sky's rainbow
Who even in the form of a shadow
Has an innocence of beauty
that is more than we will ever know
Oh you, fly free, fly free
To the sun and to the moon
Spread your colorful wings
Feel the cool breezes gently blow between them
Fly free, fly free
To the sun and to the moon
For surely you are one of Mother Nature's
most beautiful beings
Who was created on more than just a whim
