Where Do The Butterflies Dance?
Words and Music by Sherri Reese
Instead of sweeping up the pieces of the life
she led before
She said no - that isn’t what I want
Not going back there anymore
As the front door slammed and the angry
words trailed far away
She knew the ground beneath her feet was
quickly giving way
Could she break out of this darkness
Like a butterfly
Transformed and given wings to rise
And dance the dance of joy
Where do the butterflies dance
Where do the butterflies dance
Where do the butterflies dance
She needed time to rediscover who she was
and why
He said she had a heart of stone
And her warmth had turned to ice
It was distance that she needed
Between the old ways and the new
She hoped that it would help to starve the
devils in her too
Cause she was moving ahead
Not looking back
Going to find
Where the butterflies dance
Where the butterflies dance
Somewhere in her journey as she headed for
the night
Someone called out to her
She struggled to hear the voice
She heard the heart that beats within you
Will tell you what is right
Don't shut it down again my friend
You paid too great a price
She felt the stone inside her
Turn to grains of sand
The icy sculpture she’d become
Melted in her hands
Is this where the butterflies dance
Is this where the butterflies dance
The demons of the past
Bubbled up and burst
She wondered if this was a death
Or was it a rebirth
Just then...
The butterflies danced
The butterflies danced
The butterflies danced
