lyrics

To see the face painted a butterfly then
In time illustrates the beginning again
Of where I once stood and of what I must do
This shelter a falsehood, where once it was true
Long flights of the monarch begin in the sun
We must show the landmark, we must be the one

I stand on an island, the tower across
Regarding the highland in hours of loss
The water reflecting an image of stone
Together respecting the river alone
The ground we must cherish, the seed we must sow
The tiller must perish, the seedling must grow

The bags are all packed, bringing proof to the hall
And silence thereafter sings truth to it all
Of summer unending upon the old wall
Of memory bending away from the fall
The chrysalis open, the monarch has flown
The prairie now golden, the seedling has grown
