Black Butterfly

Deniece Williams

Morning light, silken dream to flight

As the darkness gave way to dawn

You've survived, now your moment has arrived

Now your dream has finnally been born



Chorus:

Black Butterfly, sailed 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



Chorus



Let the current lift your heart and send it soaring

Write the timeless message clear across the sky

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 that you're free and the world has come to see

Just how proud and beautiful you are



Chorus



Fly

Butterfly

Yeah, yeah, yes

Fly
