Black Butterfly - Tamia

Morning light, silk and dreams, take flight

As the darkness gives way to the dawn

You survived, now your moment has arrived

Now your dream has finally been born

Black butterfly

Sail across the waters

Tell your sons and daughters

What the struggle brings

Black butterfly

Set the skies on fire

Rise up even higher

So the ages of the tides can catch your wings

While you slept, the promise was unkept

But your faith was at shore, as the stars

Now you’re free, and the world has come to see

Just how proud, and beautiful you are

Black butterfly

Sail across the waters

Tell your sons and daughters

What the struggle brings

Black butterfly

Set the skies on fire

Rise up even higher

So the ages of the tides

Let this current lift your heart and send it soaring

Ride the timeless message clear across the sky

So all of us can read it and remembering who made it

That a dream conceived in truth can never die, can never die

Black butterfly

Sail across the waters

Tell your sons and daughters

What the struggle brings

Black butterfly

Set the skies on fire

Rise up even higher

So the ages of the tides can get your wings

So the world can see how beautiful you are
