yesterday I saw a butterfly
so pretty
so smart
wish I could be like him
so happy
flying around with no worries in my head
never thinking
of what tomorrow will bring again
never wondering
do they like me for me
or for something else
never asking myself
if I'm doing the right thing
and if I'm always being nice

I tried to catch the butterfly
and I did..
but when I held him
in my hands
he didn't look happy anymore
so little
so fragile
he felt frightened
trapped in my hands
and that's exactly how I feel right now
trapped by something
or someone
I don't know
but it doesn't feel nice...

so I looked at him
and touched him with my finger
then I opened my hands
and told him
to fly away
to be free again
cause I felt sorry for him
when he was trapped in my hands
he flew away
and I had a moment of happiness
just a lovely feeling inside

I wonder
will I ever be as free as him?
or will I stay trapped
in someones hands forever
I hope they'll let me go
to lead my own life
cause that's what I want
to lead my own life....
