The Ocean and the Butterfly

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Once I had a dreamStuck somewhere in betweenThe water and the beach, yeahBoth worlds out of reachSo with elegance and styleCaught a wave a took a rideThis empty plastic bagOn a starry night floats into the blackLook at how she dip and divesBut no one could ever knowHow many miles she'll goOr how she does with such elegance and styleLook at how she dip and divesTake only what you needLike the water and the seedSo after we are goneThere'll be something good to carry onAll this elegance and styleDancin' with the butterflyNo maths, no miraclesIt's all grown mechanicalMachines by cell's designTo float into the skyWith such elegance and styleThe ocean and the butterfly
