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
