lyrics

Butterflies, they are so pretty
But they're nothing when you're with me
And they'll never understand me like you do
It takes mountains just to move me
But you managed to see through me
And I know you understand
It takes cloudless skies and rainbows
Dragonflies, I know that they know
I know they understand
It takes every piece of sinew
Every muscle that's within you
Every touch, every kiss that we can land

I takes purpose and endeavour
We will welcome any weather
In our promised land
It takes guts and it takes foresight
And I know that we'll be alright
When we're hand in hand
It takes minutes, it takes hours
It will take more than a shower
To shift all this sand
Over there - look, can you see him?
A dragonfly, his wings are beating
And he lands on your hand
