Fly Me High

Came along with her crystal lives
and a smile that would shine for days
and I could see that her heart was strong
so much kindness in her face
Impatiently she took my hand
and gently held the space
Like a cherry blossom
she would silently radiate

Fly me high, butterfly
fly me gently to the sky
Fly me high, butterfly
fly me gently to the sky

Came along when my hands were tied
and I knew I just had to wait
Lick my wounds, rebuild my pride
leave the seed to germinate
Seed needed sun and it needed rain
and a love I could not locate
I trusted time and I trusted fire
because I learnt to trust in fate

Fly me high, butterfly
fly me gently to the sky
Fly me high, butterfly
fly me gently to the sky

Fly me high, butterfly
fly me gently to the sky
Fly me high, butterfly
fly me gently to the sky

Beneath the canopy of the jungle
when I saw her face
In the belly of the Amazon
with its centipedes and snakes
She tethers on, will never fade

Can't find the road no more
when you cannot find your way
Your candle burns out before
you've reached your destination
You can't find the strength inside
to keep on with your days
Yeah it's lodged deep inside
the natural mystic from which we came
