Deniece Williams - Black Butterfly

Morning light, silken dreams to flight

As the darkness gave way to dawn

You've survived, now your moment has arrived

Now your dream has finally been born

Black Butterfly, sailed across the waters

Tell your sons and daughters

What the struggle brings

Black Butterfly, set the skies on fire

Rise up even higher

So the ageless winds of time can catch your wings

While you slept, the promise was unkept

But your faith was a sure as the stars

Now you're free, and the world has come to see

Just how proud and beautiful you are

Let the current lift your heart and send it soaring

Write the timeless message clear across the sky

So that all of you can read it and remember when we need it

That a dream conceived in truth can never die Butterfly

Cause now that you're free and the world has come to see

Just how proud and beautiful you are
