Yesterday s world is a dream like a river that runs through my mind
Made of fields and the white pebbled stream that I Knew as a child
Butterfly wings in the sun taught me all that I needed to see
For they sang sang to my heart "Oh look at me! Look at me,
free as the wind , free as the wind , that is the way you should be
Love was the dream of my life and I gave it the best I knew how
So it always brings tears to my eyes when I think of it now.
Gone like the butterfly days and the youth that I once used to be
But my heart still hears a voice telling me "Look! and you ll see,
free as the wind , free as the wind , that is the way you should be
So there s no regret that I feel for the bitter sweer taste of it all.
If you love there s a chance you may fly ,if you fall, well, you fall.
Rather the butterfly s life, to have lived for a day and be free,
For my heart still hears a voice telling me "Look! and you ll see,
free as the wind , free as the wind , that is the way you should be
