A BUTTERFLY

You could have been a butterfly,
If you would have come out of your cocoon.
You could have been a butterfly,
If you hadn't anticipated so much doom.
The world was at your waiting,
Life was at your call.
There was so much you could have done,
But all you could do was fall.

You could have been a butterfly,
If you could have opened your wings.
You could have been a butterfly.
If you would have followed your dreams.
Youth was at your feet,
Time was on your hands.
You could have taken on anything,
If you would have said "I can."

You could have been a butterfly,
That she knows is true.
You could have been a butterfly,
If you just believed in yourself,

You could have been a butterfly,
You could have flown.
