Your Own Survivor

One million beats of a butterflies wings
hateful words with silent stings
kept in a closet home
sitting curled up, all alone
no one believe they'd make it through
to find in their heart what was true
kept quiet so that no one would hear
whispering to the walls silent fears
no one believed they could be stronger
they thought they'd only last alittle longer

Chorus:
one million beats of a butterflies wings
flying through un-natural things
no one but themselves thought they'd survive
everyone had already declared them not alive

yet in their quiet home there came a change
for miles out everyone was out of range
they werent there to witness the miracle
of silent thoughts turned lyrical
a shift came then, from inside
sunshine hit what people hide
you'd never know they're insecure
all they are now is truly pure
un-hit by evil or awful fright
of everyone playing the same fight

chorus

free to love at their own choice
finally given back their soft voice
free to live the way they care
people now begin to stare
free of human jealous lies
forgetting all the secret ties
one day they promised they'd be free
now look at them, how could this be?

one million beats of a butterflies wings
flying through un-natural things
no one but themselves thought they'd survive
but look at them now fully alive
