Stay with me Lyrics

I said

Hey my friend what's the word?

How fares my favorite little bird?

Then she said

"I'm not a bird I wish you'd stop that—

This cage is tight; I can't relax

But I've got wings and I've got dreams

I'll rise above or so it seems

Let me out let me try

I'll take my chance with the open sky"

Butterflies can start hurricanes

Turn a breeze into wild untamed

But the world is dark and storms are high

Stay with me—you're the reason I fly

I said

Do you remember how we met?

Your wings were broken your feathers wet

The rain was mild but you screamed in pain—

I held you close through the gentle rain

Then she said

"But I've forgotten the stormy skies

All I see now are flowers and light

I need the wind; I need the sun

Don't hold me back—I've just begun!"

Butterflies can start hurricanes

Turn a breeze into wild untamed

But the world is dark and storms are high

Stay with me—you're the reason I fly

I said:

The clouds are heavy; the winds will roar

You don't know what you're heading for

This storm will twist it's not your fight

I'm a hawk I'll guard the night

Then she said:

"But I've grown strong; I'll brave the tide

Let me go don't make me hide

My wings will flap I'll touch the sky—

Even if I fall I've got to try!"

Butterflies can start hurricanes

Turn a breeze into wild untamed

But the world is dark and storms are high

Stay with me—you're the reason I fly

The butterfly flew chasing the blue

But storms don't care what dreams pursue

Now my friend is dead; I'm all alone

The sky's too wide the pain has grown

This world is dark but it's okay—

I'll survive another day

Butterflies can not start hurricanes

Nor turn a breeze into the wild untamed

The world is dark and storms are high

I wish you stayed with me - you were the reason I flied

I wish you stayed with me!

I wish you stayed with me!
