[Verse 1]
D
You’ve been through many stages of your
A/C#
 Life
Bm                        G
First the ground now a cocoon up high
D                                          A/C#
And as the days have gone by
                      Bm
And time started to fly,
                       G
You felt dead, but I promise
 A                       D
Your time has just arrived
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Spread your hopes
      A
Don’t let them die
        Bm                A
There's more to you than meets the eye
 
 
[Chorus]
D
It's ok butterfly you don't have to feel the
Bm
 Night
 
Spread your wings hold them high
                           G
You may fall but you won't die
                         A
When the voices from the ground
                              G
Say you're too high come back down
 
                             A
Tell them I don't know ‘bout you
                   D
But I was born to fly
 
 
[Instrumental]
 Bm          G        D
To fly ……
 
 
[Verse 2]
                           A/C#
It's not been easy knowing you will fly
Bm                           G
When all that you can do is crawl and hide
D                        A/C#
But it's ok your season on the ground
                Bm
oh oh oh oh oh oh
                     G
It’s hard to become stronger now
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Spread your hopes
      A
Don’t let them die
        Bm               A
There's more to you than meets the eye
 
 
[Chorus]
D
It's ok butterfly you don't have to feel the
Bm
 Night
 
Spread your wings hold them high
                            G
You may fall but you won't die
 
                          A
When the voices from the ground
                              G
Say you’re too High come back down
                             A
Tell them I don't know ‘bout you
                   D
But I was born to fly
 
 
[Instrumental]
E         D/F#  G
-e-e-e-e oh oh oh
               D     E     D/F#
I was born to fly ee-ee-ee-ee

[Chorus/Tag]
D                                    A/C#
It's ok butterfly you don't have to run and
Bm
hide
 
Spread your wings hold high
                              G
You once scrawled but now you fly
                         A
When the voices from the ground
                        G
Now are started to fade out
                       A
As you soar across the sky
                         D
‘cause you were born to fly
              you’ve been through many stages of your life
first the ground now a cacoon up high
and as the days have gone by and time started to fly
you felt dead but i promise your time has just arrived

spread your hopes don’t let them die
there’s more to you than meets the eye

it’s okay b+tterfly, you don’t have to fear the night
spread your wings hold them high, you may fall but you won’t die, and when the voices from the ground
say you’re too high come back down
tell them i don’t know about you but i was born to fly

to fly

it’s not been easy knowing you will fly, when all that you can do is crawl and hide buts its okay your season on the ground has helped you become so much stronger now

spread your hopes don’t let them die
there’s more to you than meets the eye

it’s okay b+tterfly, you don’t have to fear the night
spread your wings hold them high, you may fall but you won’t die, and when the voices from the ground
say you’re too high come back down
tell them i don’t know about you but i was born to fly

oh
i was born to fly
it’s okay b+tterfly, you don’t have to run and hide
spread your wings hold them high
you once crawled but now you fly
and the voices from the ground now are starting to fade out as you soar across the sky cause you were born to fly
