The Ocean and the Butterfly

Lyrics

Once I had a dream
Stuck somewhere in between
The water and the beach
Both worlds out of reach
So in elegance and style
Caught a wave and took a ride

Empty plastic bag
Starry night floats into the black
Look at how she dip and dive
But no one could ever know
How many miles she'll go
Or how she does with such elegance and style
Look at how she dip and dive

Take only what you need
Like the water and the seed
So after we are gone
There'll be something good to carry on
All this elegance and style
Dancin' with the butterfly

You know, math's no miracle
S'all grown mechanical
Machines by selves designed
To float into the sky
With such elegance and style
The ocean and the butterfly
