Silent Voices, A butterflie's plea

Silent Voices. A butterfly's Plea.

Longing for light in a world of darkness
Got to make a tiny space
Or find a crack in the wall
Can I escape upwards through this tunnel
Where my heart longs to explore.

Please don't contain me
Don't try to restrain me
Those confines pained me
Left me crumpled on the floor.

Got to find light
Got to find space
Got to make room
Got to escape.

I'm beating and beating my wings,
I'm trying to get a little higher.
Above my head is clear-
But it's hard, not like the sky!
Open it up and let me out
Or forever leave me to expire

My colours will fade
My body grow limp
What worth is your curious eye then?

I am alive only for a few days-
So let me go!
Open the lid and let me out!
