Fly, Mariposa, Fly

Lyrics

[OSGOOD, spoken] There's an old story my mother used to tell me when I was a child. It's about a mariposa— which means "butterfly". I've always returned to it whenever I've found myself confused about who I was. And… who I was meant to be.​ (sung) On a leaf, a mariposa leaves a huevo— (spoken) That means "egg!" (sung) Which becomes A caterpillar by and by When it's grown It hides and waits for Mother Nature's kiss Metamorphosis And when we see her next It's time for her to fly Fly, mariposa, fly I would never pin such beauty down You should be free to touch the sky So, fly, mariposa, fly (spoken) That is how I see you, Daphne.​ [DAPHNE, spoken] As a caterpillar? [OSGOOD, spoken] As a butterfly... about to take wing! [OSGOOD, ENSEMBLE] Other men Will see the colors that define you (Define you) Every day They try to catch you for a prize (Ahh) So fly above The one you love will never need a net And he won't forget That wings like yours Were meant to fire up the skies (Ahh) [OSGOOD, ENSEMBLE, ALL] Fly, mariposa, fly To our hill in Te-Adoro town I'll wait for you there 'til I die So fly, mariposa, fly (Ahh) [OSGOOD, ENSEMBLE] Our romance Might be the chance For you to dance and spread your wings (Dance and spread your wings) Don't fear the night Embrace the light my loving brings (Brings) Listen as it sings! (Sings!) La, la, la, la, la (La, la, la, la, la, la, la) La, la, la, la, la, la, la (La, la, la, la, la) [OSGOOD, ENSEMBLE, ALL] Flowers bloom, there's sweet perfume That says, "The world is new So take in the view" And when you land A rose in hand waits there for you (Ahh) Fly, mariposa, fly I would never pin such beauty down (Don't you know?) You should be free to touch the sky So fly, mariposa, fly Fly, mariposa, fly (Mariposa, fly) To our hill in Te-Adoro town (Don't you know?) I'll wait for you there 'til I die So fly, mariposa, fly [OSGOOD] I'll wait for you there 'til I die So fly, mariposa [ALL] Fly
