Butterflies

Why can't we spark like a little firefly? Why can't we glee like a blissful butterfly? Can we be still, like a river in the night? Can we be plain, like the sky in delight? Oh flap your wings, be cheerful for these gifts Oh fling your limbs, in wavy skillful drifts Go on with ease, floating in the wind Go in the breeze, swinging as you dreamed Show us your track Show us your prints in the dark Teach us to leave our mark Teach us to fix a broken crack Can we spark like a little firefly? Can we be free like a blissful butterfly?
