If I Were a Butterfly

If I were a butterfly I would go up in the sky

Over the sun and over the clouds,

I’ll see people eating pie

If I were a butterfly, I’ll fly to a distant land

Overlooking the long sea and miles of clear white sand

If I were a butterfly, I’ll have bright and colorful wings

With a Magpie Robin beside me who sings

If I were a butterfly, I’ll have children chasing me in the park

To get rid of them, I’ll hide in the tree bark

If I were a butterfly, I’ll shine like a bright star

Giving light to people even from afar

If I were a butterfly, I’ll drink nectar from a beautiful flower

I love it even if it tastes bitter or sour

If I were a butterfly, I’ll have many friends

I’ll play with them all day long, a game that never ends

The life cycle of a butterfly does have some pain

But if you will kill me, it’ll all go in vain
