	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“
	I’m a butterfly,” he said, “trivial and small
	And in the greater scheme of things
	I don’t mean much at all
	So I’ll flap my wings to stretch myself and just enjoy the view
	I’m a butterfly, what more can
	I do?”One afternoon, the butterfly asked the river“
	Madam, what makes you hurry so?
	What splendid destination are you rippling toward?
	Where, oh, where do you go?”
	The river said, “
	I’m headed for the ocean
	And summer breeze inspires me to race
	My friend, you’d love the ocean, it’s remarkable to see
	Won’t you join our friendly chase?”“
	I’m a butterfly,” he said, “trivial and small
	And in the greater scheme of things
	I don’t mean much at all
	So I’ll flap my wings to stretch myself and just enjoy the view
	I’m a butterfly, what more can
	I do?”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“
	What makes you chase the river towards the ocean?”
	And the breeze told him a most amazing thing“
	I’m simply made up of the currents in the air
	That start from the movement of your wing, your tiny wing“
	You’re a butterfly my friend, powerful and strong
	And I’m grateful for the way you’ve 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 do”
	So he stretched his wings and took off from the safety of his tree
	And the butterfly finally saw the sea

	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 whoknowswhere
	Carefully he sheltered from the power of the breeze
	For surely it could toss him through the air"
