Black Butterfly

"Black Butterfly, sailed across the waters
Tell your sons and daughters
What the struggle brings
Black Butterfly, set the skies on fire
Rise up even higher
So the ageless winds of time can catch your wings."
(lyrics by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, 1982, song performed by Deniece Williams)
