Butterfly Trade

"Tell me what weighs upon your soul," The butterfly whispered in the wind. "You don't have to carry it alone." [Verse 1] So I opened every locked-up room, Every scar I tried to hide. Every sleepless night I survived, Every place where hope had died. I poured out storms I'd buried deep, Names I'd never dared to say. She never interrupted once... She simply stayed. [Pre-Chorus] She gathered every falling tear Like they were diamonds in the rain. And somehow every word I spoke Didn't hurt the same. [Chorus] She never asked me to be stronger. She never asked me not to fall. She simply spread her gentle wings Wide enough to catch it all. Sometimes healing isn't fixing. Sometimes healing is... Someone choosing not to leave. [Verse 2] Then she smiled with quiet courage, Like she'd walked this road before. She said, "The light you're searching for Doesn't live outside the door." "I've known the silence. I've known the cold. I've known the darkness That can swallow whole." "But every wing begins unseen... Before it ever learns the sky." [Bridge] We are not broken by the shadows. We are shaped by them. The night never steals the sunrise. It prepares us to recognize it. [Final Chorus] So if your heart is carrying mountains, If tomorrow feels too far away, Remember every butterfly Was once hidden from the day. Every wound can become wisdom. Every ending grows new wings. [Outro] Lift your eyes. Open your heart. Spread your wings... Do not be afraid. Change is a beautiful thing.
