Butterfly

Story Behind The Song

What a fun song! I started this one while we were living in Japan (2004ish). I remember that Nori was at work teaching English lessons, so I called our pastors to sing it to them. They weren't home, so I just sang it onto their answering machine (I was excited :0). We didn't actually write the second verse and bridge until just before recording it. When you realize why God has created you, it is so freeing! It is also very cool to see how He uses your gifts to bless those around you. Influences? Remember watching "Friends?" The theme song was sung by The Rembrandts. This reminds me of that song. Nori says it reminds him a little of The Who. We had a blast recording this one w/ our friends, Jim and George, in Jim's attic studio in the Nashville, TN area. It's got that "Jim touch" on the end : 0 )

Lyrics

I was created for so much more than this
Caught in a tunnel and I race to get out of it
I hear you call my name but I cannot see You yet
But my heart is calling out, crying out, dying out

Fly butterfly, spread your wings and soar up to the sky
Fly butterfly, because you'll never know until you try
Fly butterfly, spread your wings and soar into the sky
Fly butterfly, because the whole world's waiting for you
Come on and fly

It's been a long, long time since I've had freedom from within
And now I'm ready to become a child again
So many voices calling, they tell me it's a sin
But my heart is calling out, crying out, dying out
So won't you...

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise
Don't be fooled into believing all the lies

Because the whole world's waiting for you
This is what you're made to do
Yeah, the whole world's waiting for you
Come on and fly
Come on and fly
