Took a walk not knowing where I was going No, that’s wrong You always know where you’re heading for I came upon a spot Where we first forgot ourselves And started to become one another The spot was overgrown The wind was blowing No, that’s wrong Something else was in the air A long forgotten voice The sound of little boys in a choir An angel couldn’t sing much higher
Before you get to be a butterfly You gotta spend time in a cocoon Before you can all walk in the sun You gotta be alone with the moon And when you start to apologize It’ll be over soon Before you get to be a butterfly You gotta spend time in a cocoon

Before you get to be a butterfly You gotta spend time in a cocoon Before you can all walk in the sun You gotta be alone with the moon And when you start to apologize It’ll be over soon Before you get to be a butterfly You gotta spend time in a cocoon
