[Verse 1]
You've been through many stages of your life
First the ground, now a cocoon up high
And as the days have gone by and time started to fly
You felt dead, but I promise your time has just arrived

[Pre-Chorus]
Spread your hopes, don't let them die
There's more to you than meets the eye

[Chorus]
It's okay, butterfly, you don't have to fear the night
Spread your wings, hold them high, you may fall, but you won't die
When the voices from the ground say you're too high come back down
Tell them "I don't know about you, but I was born to fly"

[Post-Chorus]
To fly

[Verse 2]
It's not been easy knowin' you will fly
When all that you can do is crawl and hide
But it's okay, your season on the ground, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Has helped you become so much stronger now

[Pre-Chorus]
Spread your hopes, don't let them die
There's more to you than meets the eye
[Chorus]
It's okay, butterfly, you don't have to fear the night
Spread your wings, hold them high, you may fall, but you won't die
When the voices from the ground say you're too high come back down
Tell them "I don't know about you, but I was born to fly"

[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh
I was born to fly
Oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
It's okay, butterfly, you don't have to run and hide
Spread your wings, hold them high, you once crawled, but now you fly
When the voices from the ground now are startin' to fade out
As you soar across the sky, 'cause you were born to fly
