Butterfly McQueen

I¡¯ve finally broke your cool!
leave my things just where they are
I didn¡¯t think it would go this far
makes no sense no sense at all
that¡¯s why this bird must fly away

Finally broke the rule!
butterfly you made me say
I¡¯d never leave but I can¡¯t stay
I¡¯d never hurt you willingly
but it¡¯s time this bird must fly away
bird must fly today
butterfly away

(butterfly speaks) what am I supposed to do now that
love¡¯s gone away, take my life, take
my air, release me from this
body, I¡¯ll go anywhere!

I feel you rising Butterfly McQueen
