In my mother's house    There's a photograph    Of a day gone past    Always makes me laugh    There's a little girl    Wary of the world    She got much to learn    Get her fingers burned    An afffinity    Between you and me    Was a family    Said that i'd be fine    Gave me all your time    And I left your side    Like a butterfly       Shower me with your love    Colour everyday    You make the milk-gold sun    Shine on me    Lift me up so high    Watch me fly away    And you gave me life   Like a butterfly       In my mother's house    There was happiness    I wrapped myself in it    Was my chrysalis    As my life unfolds    See a pattern through    Of you protecting me    I protecting you    What was that you say   Make your own mistakes    And when you're grown   Make sure that you remain the same    Now i realise    What was on your mind    When i left your side    Like a butterfly       Shower me with your love    Colour everyday    You make the milk-gold sun    Shine on me    Lift me up so high    Watch me fly away    And you gave me life   Like a butterfly       Shower me with your love    Colour everyday    You make the milk-gold sun    Shine on me    Lift me up so high    Watch me fly away    And you gave me life   Like a butterfly
