[Verse 1]
Butterflies on the wheel
Of a world that turns unyieldingly...
Every fragile beating wing
Moves the motor of the thing

[Refrain]
Oh, Gaia!

[Verse 2]
Butterflies stir a breeze
And the ripples flow unceasingly:
Far away the cyclones swirl
It's a whole, connected world

[Refrain]
Oh, Gaia!

[Bridge]
Wipe those tears from your tired eyes:
Every breath you take a sacred sigh

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Butterflies on the wheel
Making order out of chaos
And each ripple in the air
Turns the motor everywhere
[Bridge]
Cry those tears, then dry those tired eyes:
Every breath you take keeps you alive

[Verse 4]
Butterflies as we are
Freeze in flight beneath the starry sky
But the ghosts fly on and on...
In this sense we all belong

[Refrain]
Oh, Gaia!

[Verse 5]
And the sum of all the parts
Is the all-forgiving heart

[Refrain]
Of Gaia

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Oh, Gaia!
