Butterfly - India.Arie

Constantly creepin' caterpillar

Still a swoon in a cocoon

Soon you might emerge

And you’re made to emerge

A little longing to love, lush

Starving for affection

Hidden by the size of my perfection

With one exception…

If you wanna butterfly

You gotta be a butterfly

You know that nothing falls out of the sky

Still a swoon in a cocoon

If you wanna butterfly

You gotta be a butterfly

You know that nothing falls out of the sky

How do I hide somebody from the great blue wide?

I’ll come and sweep you up

'Cause your time ain’t up, be patient

Now you see the sun is rising and your realizing

Wise enough to know

That you gotta let yourself grow

If you wanna butterfly

You gotta be a butterfly

You know that nothing falls out of the sky

Still a swoon in a cocoon

If you wanna butterfly

You gotta be a butterfly

You know that nothing falls out of the sky

What goes around comes back around;

This is nature’s way

Be conscious of what you do

Because you will be repaid

If you put turnips in the ground

You will not harvest grapes

You are what you attracted

And this is why I say;

Uhhhhhh…

If you wanna a butterfly

You gotta be a butterfly

You know that nothing falls out of the sky

Still a swoon in a cocoon

If you wanna a butterfly

You gotta be a butterfly

You know that nothing falls out of the sky

Constantly creepin' caterpillar

Still a swoon in a cocoon

Soon you might emerge

And be made to emerge

Maybe…

Still a swoon in a cocoon (repeated MANY times!)

Uhhhhhh…
