I don't want to clip your wings
that would make you cry
I want you to be just who you are
I'll never ask you why

I don't want to hold you down
or keep you all for me
to share the love they have to give
a butterfly must be free

But when you want someone to hold you
or just to ease the hurt
when you need to feel special
or just feel like being first

When you need someone who loves you
to feel the beauty of it all
I hope you'll spread your wings and say
I think I'll go see Paul

All I can give I'll give to you
all that can be seen heard or felt
but the best thing I'll give sweet butterfly
is the freedom to be yourself
