she's a butterfly

i love this song.. a few years ago driving down a texas highway, i saw a huge beautiful american flag high up on a flag pole... the wind was strong that afternoon, and i had martina's song playing in the background.. my mind began racing, and i saw this picture of that amazing flag, and put the 2 together/the song meant, to me, that 'she', AMERICA, was the butterfly and she was blessed! i loved that.. now everytime i hear, or play that tune, i pray and think of this amazing country and thank god, really... for her~ god bless the butterfly, give her the strength to fly, never let her wings touch the ground~

she's a butterfly (written by kenny big and john rich)

She remembers when she first got her wings
And how she opened up that day she learned to sing
Then the colors came, erased the black and white
And her whole world changed when she realized

[Chorus:]She's a butterfly, pretty as the crimson sky
Nothing's ever gonna bring her down
And everywhere she goes
Everybody knows she's so glad to be alive
She's a butterfly

Like the purest light in a darkened world
So much hope inside such a lovely girl
You should see her fly, it's almost magical
It makes you wanna cry, she's so beautiful

[Chorus]

God bless the butterfly,give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground
God bless the butterfly,give her strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground

[Chorus]

God bless the butterfly,give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground
God bless the butterfly,give her the strenght to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground
