Deniece Williams - Black Butterfly lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

'Cause 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 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

Fly butterfly
Yeah, yeah, yes fly
