lyrics

Sometimes it can be hard to say goodbye
I’ve been living in a cage, for a little while
Lost my home, lost my friends, lost my freedom
I’ve been uprooted but the door is open wide.

Oh I haven’t any wings, but I can try
Try to fly, dance like a butterfly
Oh I haven’t any wings, but I can try
Try to fly, dance like a butterfly.

These new streets I walk and breathe have set me free
The city I came to offered sanctuary
But the longing is painful and oh I miss my home
But I know, I do not walk alone.

Oh I haven’t any wings, but I can try
Try to fly, dance like a butterfly
Oh I haven’t any wings, but I can try
Try to fly, dance like a butterfly.

I may have lost it all, but I’ve not lost my soul.

Oh I haven’t any wings, but I can try
Try to fly, dance like a butterfly
Oh I haven’t any wings, but I can try
Try to fly, dance like a butterfly.
