There I was with the old man, stranded again, so off I ran

A young world crashing around me; no possibilities of getting what I need

He looked at me and smiled,

said No, no, no, no, no, no child

See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly

Dog and butterfly, Below she had to try

She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,

Laughing, She don't know why

She don't know why, Dog and Butterfly

Well I stumbled upon your secret place, Safe in the trees, you had tears on your face

Wrestling with your desires; frozen stangers stealing your fires

The message hit my mind,

Only words that I could find

See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly

Dog and butterfly, Below she had to try

She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,

Laughing, to the sky

Up to the sky, Dog and Butterfly

We're getting older, The world getting colder

For the life of me, I don't know the reason why

Maybe it's living, making us give in

Heart rolling in, taken back on the tide

We're balanced together; ocean upon the sky

Another night in this stange town, Moonlight holding me light as down

Voice of confusion inside of me, begging to go back where I'm free

Feels like I'm through,

Then the old man's words are true

See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly

Dog and butterfly, Below she had to try

She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,

With a little tear in her eye

She had to try, She had to try, Dog and Butterfly

Up in the air he like to fly

Dog and butterfly, Below she has to try

She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,

With a little tear in her eye

She had to try, She had to try, Dog and Butterfly
