She's a Butterfly
Martina McBride · Martina [2003]
And how she opened up the 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
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
God bless the butterfly
Give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground
(God bless the butterfly)
God bless the butterfly
Give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground
Oh, she's a butterfly, pretty as the crimson sky
Nothin's ever gonna bring her down
And everywhere she goes
Everybody knows she's so glad to be alive
She's a butterfly
She's a butterfly
She's a butterfly
God bless the butterfly
Give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground
(God bless the butterfly)
God bless the butterfly
Give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground
