I watch the sun go down over the ocean tide, tide   the wind is blowing from the shore   through my hair, it's beautiful tonight   oh, I can't explain    but I want to feel like a butterfly, as free   I want to be as open as the sea      I sat for a while, stared up to the sky   it's so alive, alive   the ships far out that I can see   they're drifting away   they're drifting away from me   I wanna drift away too      still I can't explain   why I want to feel like a butterfly, as free   I want to be as open as the sea   drifting far away   where I am free      like a butterfly, as free   I want to be as open as the sea
