As a Butterfly

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Zandro Santiago] No, I just refuse to believe my eyes In front of me, something I can't recognize You stood beside me all my life [Verse 2: Stoffe Andersson] The heart machines are ticking I can hear the life support pumping The line between life and death doesn't come any clearer than this Covered with an oxygen mask, these words will be his last With the energy he's got left, he turns to me and says: [Chorus: Zandro Santiago] I cannot stand by you 'til the end of the world Like I said I would do No, I won't be able to help you carry the weight of the world My time has come Silent as a butterfly, I'll be flying beside you, watching above you Silent as a butterfly [Verse 3: Zandro Santiago] All of a sudden, I've lost my strength Isn't it scary how things can change? It made an instant, just like that [Verse 4: Stoffe Andersson] Whenever I had questions, you always had the answers You taught me about life and the importance of being yourself And to highly value honesty, how not to lose grip of reality With both your feet on the ground [Chorus: Zandro Santiago] I cannot stand by you 'til the end of the world Like I said I would do No, I won't be able to help you carry the weight of the world My time has come Silent as a butterfly, I'll be flying beside you, watching above you Silent as a butterfly [Bridge: Zandro Santiago & Stoffe Andersson] You weren't supposed to see me like this And I'm sorry (sorry!) I must leave, It's my time But I will see you soon [Chorus: Zandro Santiago] I cannot stand by you 'til the end of the world Like I said I would do No, I won't be able to help you carry the weight of the world My time has come Silent as a butterfly, I'll be flying beside you, watching above you Silent as a butterfly
