She's a Butterfly

Martina McBride · Martina [2003]

She remembers when she first got her wings

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
