"Butterflies" (Original)

Song I wrote about life in the eyes of a young boy...

Lyrics

Summers gone, a new year begins
I just couldnt wait to see your face again
Last year with you, well it was a blast
But this year you werent there when I got to the class
I just couldnt find you so I asked for help
Cause I didnt want to spend snack time all by myself
I looked where the sun and the clouds sit together
Cause teacher said that you were under the weather
I knocked on your door but there was no answer

Hey, why wont you just come out to play?
Just like you did just yesterday
I guess you must be mad at me

I asked mommy what cancer was
Does it mean god just doesnt love him as much?
She took me to the park, no reason why
We sat there and watched all of the butterflies
Flying away, soon theyll wither away
Mommy says that will happen to us all someday
But theres no telling when, our calendars arent the same

Hey, I sat out on your porch all day
And I watched you watch TV
I guess you arent really mad at me

We went to see you, I wore my black shirt
But all that we saw was a pile of dirt
I stood next to mommy with a tear in her eye
I ask her why she was starting to cry
She said that you were gone, never coming back here
As I saw you flying high in the air
Ever since then, things have been quite different

Hey, they say heaven is so far away
But I know youre always here with me

Hey, you sit out on my tree everyday
I flash a smile your way
Thats when you fly away
