Rhoda Morgan Butterfly
Opened the curtains & let in the light
Shadows are gone from under my eyes
Fixed my hair put some make-up on
Return to the world, turn the TV. on
I think it’s time to pick up the phone, dial my friends see if they were home
We met at the bar & I smile, for the first time in months, like a child.
We laughed and we joked, we drank & we smoked
Looked in the mirror and started to see, someone that resembles me
We danced and we screamed, rode home in a limousine
All the smoke suffocating me is clearing away, finally I can breathe
I didn’t think of you once today, like you never existed like you faded away
Just like a butterfly, I’m gonna let you fly away
Set you free and watch you fly away
Early morning turn the key in the door
I don’t picture your face, standing there anymore
I kind of like being alone, Seems that I found a place of my own
I laid on the roof and looked at the stars
Wrapped in the moonlight , the people & cars
I feel this peace deep inside, for the first time in months, I’m alive.
The ghosts of you & me, gone from me memory
Suddenly bloods running through my veins, cut myself loose from the shackles & chains
Some things aint meant to be, see where the wind gon’ carry me
All the fog that clouded me is starting to clear, finally I can see
I didn’t think of you once today, like you never existed like you faded away
Just like a butterfly, I’m gonna let you fly away
Set you free and watch you fly away
Lately I’ve been through so much change, but I’m sure I’ll find my way home again
Watching a part of me slowly die but I’m gonna be okay, gonna be alright
Nothing in this life stays the same and it gonna take time to heal the pain
Watching a part of me slowly die, but I’m gonna be okay, gonna be alright
