Butterfly in the Wind

from Angels and Mistakes by Harmonica Pocket

/

lyrics

Feeling spread too thin
The world is all a spin
In last place to win
A butterfly in the wind
Hope is wearing thin
My heart light mighty dim
Strength is caving in
For the butterfly in the wind

You never know when
The wind will blow
And fire burns your way
With words that sting
You curse your wings
And wish that you could pray
When hope is not enough
What will lift you up?

Against the river's flow
You push but it won't go
All my lights are red
Is this all in my head?
I don't know
Rain but no rainbow
The sun won't shine or show
A storm is blowing in
For the butterfly in the wind

You never know when
The wind will blow
And fire burns your way
With words that sting
You curse your wings
And wish that you could pray
When faith is not enough
What will lift you up?

Now I'm alone again
The mirror's looking in
Saying to myself
Wish I was someone else
I'm holding out for change
But everyday is the same
These paper wings are broken
This is me cracking open
It's all or nothing now
The rage comes spilling out
Please remove these pins
Set me free again
I learn my lesson
Like a butterfly in the wind

You never know when
the wind will blow
and fire burns your way
With words that sting
You curse your wings
And wish that you could pray
When strength is not enough
When faith and hope and trust
Are not enough
When God and love and guts
Are never enough
What will lift you up?
