From the recording The Earth Floats By
Lyrics
When you were just a child,
I would watch run and play.
You sometimes laughed.
You sometimes cried
but inside my heart I'd say,
"Take your time, find a way,
cast your dreams to God in faith,
and chase butterflies,
and chase butterflies,
and chase butterflies,
then let them fly away."
As you walk through your life,
just remember to look both ways.
People come, some may go
but inside your heart you'll know.
Take your time, find a way,
cast your dreams to God in faith,
and chase butterflies,
and chase butterflies,
chase those butterflies,
then let them fly away.
Chasing Butterflies
don't forget to,
Chasing Butterflies
save some time,
Chasing Butterflies
don't forget to,
then watch them fly away.
