Butterfly the Blue Sky

When you’ve got hopes and dreams

You can count on someone trying to tear out their seams

Like hammering Hank with leather and plank

Ya gotta butterfly the blue sky
When you wanna give up hope

And say that’s all she wrote

Look up and believe in your circle of human beings

Live your dream in technicolorsound

Stop children and say we’re not going down

We gotta rise up from ashes and dirt

Believe in Indigo Birth
When the margarine is all about margin

And carbon is taxed

You gotta say you might shoot me but it’ll be with wheatgrass

Butterfly the Blue Sky
Weapons of War are the devil’s children

And I dunno about you but I’m tired of living in sin

We gotta reclaim our golden eyes

And plant a new garden of love

Full of bird houses for doves of love and eagles who defend

From hate and black hearts

We gotta

Release all fear and let fireflies soar

Live by the pen and sheath the sword

Head on down to Terrapin Station

And put butterflies in each child’s eyes

Like when momma first saw them
Fly fly butterfly

Reach up

And be King of the Sky

Like the Man on the Moon

And Saturn’s Rings

Neptune Blues

And strawberry guitar strings

Let your dreams fly higher

Let your dreams inspire

Let your dreams fly higher

Let your dreams open your eyes

Like waking up to breakfast in bed

With orange juice and champagne

Nourished by replenishing rain

Butterfly the Blue Sky
