Morning light
silk and dreams take flight
As the darkness gives way
to the dawn
You survived
now your moment has arrived
Now your dream
has finally been born
Black butterfly
Sail across the waters
Tell your sons and daughters
What the struggle brings
Black butterfly
Set the skies on fire
Rise up even higher
So the ages of the tides
can catch your wings
While you slept
the promise was unkept
But your faith was at shore
as the stars
Now you're free
and the world has come to see
Just how proud
and beautiful you are
Black butterfly
Sail across the waters
Tell your sons and daughters
What the struggle brings
Black butterfly
Set the skies on fire
Rise up even higher
So the ages of the tides
Let this current lift your heart
and send it soaring
Ride the timeless message
clear across the sky
So all of us can read it
and remembering who made it
That a dream conceived
in truth can never die
can never die
Black butterfly
Sail across the waters
Tell your sons and daughters
What the struggle brings
Black butterfly
Set the skies on fire
Rise up even higher
So the ages of the tides
can get your wings
So the world can see
how beautiful you are
