In a far of land there lived a beautiful butterfly In a kingdom full of blossom covered trees And winding through this paradise, a river danced along And played with the constant summer breeze The butterfly found a tiny branch at the riverside And watched the water rushing who-knows-where Carefully he sheltered from the power of the breeze For surely it could toss him through the air âIâm a butterfly,â he said, âtrivial and small And in the greater scheme of things I donât mean much at all So Iâll flap my wings to stretch myself and just enjoy the view Iâm a butterfly, what more can I do?â One afternoon, the butterfly asked the river âMadam, what makes you hurry so? What splendid destination are you rippling toward? Where, oh, where do you go?â The river said, âIâm headed for the ocean And summer breeze inspires me to race My friend, youâd love the ocean, itâs remarkable to see Wonât you join our friendly chase?â âIâm a butterfly,â he said, âtrivial and small And in the greater scheme of things I donât mean much at all So Iâll flap my wings to stretch myself and just enjoy the view Iâm a butterfly, what more can I do?â So the butterfly, he dreamed of the ocean He longed to flutter high above the seas But there are dangers in the sky for a tiny butterfly So from his branch he asked a question of the breeze âWhat makes you chase the river towards the ocean?â And the breeze told him a most amazing thing âIâm simply made up of the currents in the air That start from the movement of your wing, your tiny wing âYouâre a butterfly my friend, powerful and strong And Iâm grateful for the way youâve always hurried me along When you flap your wings to stretch yourself, it might seem small to you But you change the world with everything you doâ So he stretched his wings and took off from the safety of his tree And the butterfly finally saw the sea |
