Fly Me High

Came along with the crystal eyes
And a smile that would shine for days
And I could see that her heart was strong
So much kindness in her face
And patiently she took my hand
And gently held the space
Like a cherry blossom
She would silently radiate
Fly me high, butterfly
Fly me gently to the sky
Fly me high butterfly
Fly me gently to the sky
Came along when my hands were tied
And I knew I just had to wait
Lick my wounds, rebuild my pride
Leave the seed to germinate
See it needed sun and it needed rain
And a love I could not locate
I trusted time and I trusted fire
Because I learned to trust in fate
Fly me high, butterfly
Fly me gently to the sky
Fly me high butterfly
Fly me gently to the sky
Fly me high, butterfly
Fly me gently to the sky
Fly me high butterfly
Fly me gently to the sky
Beneath the canopy of the jungle when I saw her face
To the belly of the animals on the centipedes and snakes
Shipibo’s song will never fade
Can’t find the road no more
When you cannot find your way
The candle burns out before you reach your destination
You can’t find the strength inside
To keep on with your days
The answer lies deep inside the natural mystic from which we came
