Lyrics:
VERSE 1:
When all I had was a cigarette and gray foggy dew
Words of a poet chose me to rescue
They showed me a beauty – a beauty I could feel
Since then it’s been the only – the only thing that’s real
VERSE 2:
In the world he showed me I mattered and belonged.
Oh how I danced – I danced and sang along
He disappeared but left me he left me with a clue
If butterflies start flying, allow them to lead you
CHORUS:
I was flying through skies
Drunk on music lullabies
Poets fill the skies
With magic butterflies
Poets music flies
Sometimes it cries
But it fills my skies
With magic butterflies
VERSE 3:
Our world had magic – now magic is so sparse
The puppet masters stole – stole beauty from the arts
Locked beauty in a tower hidden by the misty fog
Only one hero can save her from beyond the smog
CHORUS REPEATS
I was flying through skies
Drunk on music lullabies
Poets fill the skies
With magic butterflies
Poets music flies
Sometimes it cries
But it fills my skies
With magic butterflies
BRIDGE:
Somewhere a poet – abandoned in rags and tatters
Hears the call – realizing he still matters
And though art was stolen from us all
He’ll fight the dragons – poets are guardians of souls Poets are guardians of souls
VERSE 4:
Hey you – stuck in foggy dew – listen for a poet’s phrase
He’s chosen to take you – to a magic-magic place
One taste will send you – send you on a chase
To beauty you can feel – the only thing- that’s real
CHORUS REPEATS
I was flying through skies
Drunk on music lullabies
Poets fill the skies
With magic butterflies
Poets music flies
Sometimes it cries
But it fills my skies
With magic butterflies
