Schmetterlinge

When the day stands before me like a rock in the morning
When a cold wind only puts fog around the soul
If I lose and almost freeze
Then I still feel my mother's hand on my heart
Hear the words like when I was sad
Then the old song comforts me
Makes many things easy no matter what happens

Butterflies can fly
High up into the sunlight
But when their wings catch fire
Don't you see this
Butterflies can fly
Far out onto the blue sea
But without an island they will never come back
Back here

Sometimes I still believe in miracles that are promised to me (uh-uh)
But when I reach for the stars I cannot reach them
Hear the words in the wind like a child
I think about it again

Butterflies can fly
High up into the sunlight
But when their wings catch fire
Don't you see this
Butterflies can fly far out onto the blue sea
But without an island they will never come back
Back here

And my wings burn sometimes too
On the way to the light
Butterflies can fly
Far out onto the blue sea
But without an island they will never come back
Back here
No, they never come again
Back here
