Butterflies and Birds Lyrics

Butterfly wings beat in tune

Heartbeats echo like a moon

So fragile yet so free

Why's it only the young who see

Where are the birds we used to hear

Dye in millions without a tear

Now we stand balanced on the brink

Only the young seem to think

Oh the young they care

In a world that's unaware

You can't hear their silent plea

For the wild and the free

Forests fall silent now

Only the sound of a plough

Leaves that whisper to the dew

Why's it only the young who knew

Oh the young they care

In a world that's unaware

You can't hear their silent plea

For the wild and the free

Whales sing in oceans deep

Echoes of ages that they keep

Hear their cries as they share

Soon be silent when they're not there

Oh the young they care

In a world that's unaware

You can't hear their silent plea

For the wild and the free

Oh the young they care

In a world that's unaware

You can't hear their silent plea

For the wild and the free

Oh the young they care

In a world that's unaware

You can't hear their silent plea

For the wild and the free
