Butterfly [She Flies Alone] lyrics

She never knew the meaning of the word

Or ever heard or felt of freedom

All she knew was looking out from windows

Streaked with her own tears and her own shadows

Within a cage, tried to escape

The silent rage

Cause no one ever listened

Behind her back, she's both wings tied

She will break free

She will not be denied

And so she

She flies alone

High into the great unknown

And no one there to tell her where to go

So she flies

Sweet butterfly

Counting every second, minutes turn to hours

Seems like years

The wait's eternal

Finally passed the point of all lost hope

She will break free

She will not be denied, oh no

And so she

She flies alone

High into the great unknown

And no one there to tell her where to go

So she flies

Like a butterfly, oh

Yeah

Within a cage

Tried to escape the silent rage

But no one ever listened

Behind her back

She's both wings tied

She will break free

She will not be denied

So she

She flies alone

High into the great unknown

She don't need me to tell her where to go

Sweet little butterfly

So she

She flies alone

Up into the great unknown

She don't need me to tell her where she goes

So she flies

Within a cage

Tried to escape the silent rage

Where no one ever listened

Behind her back

She's both wings tied

She will break free

She will break free

Sweet butterfly
