Fly away oh vibrant butterflies
Take me to a land of golden streams
Where tranquility dwells ‘neath cobalt skies
Where luminescent golden suns rise
Painting heavens in shades of peaches & creams
Fly away oh vibrant butterflies
A magical land of decadent moors lie
And evening brings iridescent moonbeams
Where tranquility dwells ‘neath cobalt skies
Where kaleidoscopic sights tantalize
Through opulent valleys swathed in gossamer sunbeams
Fly away of vibrant butterflies
Lilting music of dainty fairies mesmerize
O’er sapphire seas and blooming reams
Where tranquility dwells ‘neath cobalt skies
While a faint melodious scarlet tanager cries
I’d lay forever in these dreams
Fly away oh vibrant butterflies
Where tranquility dwells ‘neath cobalt skies
