about

"baby butterflies" track 4 of "VIEW FROM THE MOON" an EP by Clayton Joseph Scott

lyrics

New laced shoes tap time on the floor
They don’t move like the old boots I once wore

Butterflies are changing so
Maybe I’m changing too

Caterpillars turn to
Butterflies in big cocoons

If I had wings I would spread them far and wide
circle ‘round the moon reaching for the sky

If caterpillars fly
Just imagine what I’ll do

When you learn to walk
When you learn to walk
When you learn to walk
in your new shoes


Small child’s hands slowly sew
They don’t move like old grandmas hands know

Children will all grow up but
We remain children the same

Grandmas says soon
She’ll be a child once again

If I could go back,
and sit on grandmas bed

I’d tell her she was right when she said

All babies cry
And one day will die too

Just like a butterfly
leaving the cacoon
