Black Butterfly
Deniece Williams
[Verse 1]
Morning light
Silken dream take flight
As the darkness gives way to the dawn
You've survived
Now your moment has arrived
Now your dream has finally been born

[Chorus]
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 ageless winds of time can catch your wings
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
While you slept
The promise was unkept
But your faith was as sure as the stars
Now you're free
And the world has come to see
Just how proud and beautiful you are
[Chorus]
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 ageless winds of time can catch your wings

[Bridge]
Let the current lift your heart
And send it soaring
Write your timeless message clear across the skies
So that all of can read it
And remember when we need it
That a dream conceived in truth can never die
Butterfly

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause now you're free
And the world has come to see
Just how proud and beautiful you are
[Chorus]
Black Butterfly
Sail across the waters
Tell your sons and your daughters
What the struggle brings
Black Butterfly
Set the skies, set them on fire
Rise up even higher
So the ageless winds of time can catch your wings

[Outro]
Fly
Butterfly
Yeah, yeah, yes
Fly
