Sometimes my dad stings like a bee
I've got to stop my asking
And see the world from above
Oh - how small his hands can be
My mum told me be a strong girl
Be much stronger than me
Use your heart and don't question
Why it's always me?
My grandma said be a good girl
And pray to God
Listen what you do to others
The others do to you
My brother was too young
My mum had to hold her tongue
And I was the eldest and had to be strong
Sometimes I wanted to
*Chorus:
Fly like a butterfly - Yes I wanted to
Fly like a butterfly - Yes I wanted to
Fly like a butterfly
Far from angry hands
To find peace*
You're my little brother I'm your sister
We complement one another I'm your twister
When I was a young girl just didn’t understand
What was this anger from such a loving man
You're my little brother look to your sister
keeping’ hold our faith through these twisters
When I was a young girl just didn’t understand
What was this anger from such a loving man
Yes I wanted to fly like a butterfly
Yes I wanted to fly like a butterfly
Yes I wanted to fly like a butterfly
Yes I wanted to
Sometimes I wanted to
Chorus
Chorus
Sometimes my dad stings like a bee
I've got to stop my asking
And see the world from above
Oh - how small his hands can be
