She's a Butterfly

"She remembers when she first got her wings, and how she opened up, that day she learned to sing

Then the colors came, erased the black and white, and her whole world changed, when she realized

She's a butterfly, pretty as the crimson sky
Nothing's ever gonna bring her down

And everywhere she goes, everybody knows
she's so glad to be alive

She's a butterfly

Like the purest light, in a darkened world
So much hope inside,
such a lovely girl

You should see her fly, it's almost magical
It makes you wanna cry,
she's so beautiful

God bless the butterfly,
give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground."

-Martina McBride
