From the recording A New Day
This song is about breaking free from the naysayers of the world and choosing to follow your dreams and be true to yourself.
Lyrics
Butterflies – Katie Miller © 2016
Do you remember when I was lost
I didn't know which way to go
But then you found me, you took care
Of it all, nobody's fault
I was addicted to your hold
On my life, you were always so right
But there came a time when I started to see
Myself more clearly, a little more freely
And I knew there had to be more
Than butterflies in the jar
I feel like a child now, wide-eyed
Begging for more, hungry for more
But I'm not so innocent anymore
I confess I've met judas
And I knew there had to be more
Than butterflies in the jar
I've learned a new kind of attitude
Forget the rules, remember the fools
I know this does not follow your plan
Wake up and see, what you were doing to me
And I knew there had to be more
Than butterflies in the jar
