A Moth Is Not A Butterfly |
| A moth is not a butterfly |
| And I know why, I know why |
| It kind of makes you want to cry |
| That a moth is not a butterfly |
| But some are happy in the bluest sky |
| And others search in the dark of night |
| And sadness is a silent right |
| A moth is not a butterfly |
| A stone is not a grain of sand |
| It’s hard, I guess, to understand |
| Both broken parts scatter the land |
| A stone is not a grain of sand |
| And one has lived for longer still |
| The other longs to break until |
| The wind can lift it in its hand |
| A stone is not a grain of sand |
| A desert’s not a mountainside |
| And I know why, I know why |
| 'cause one is vast and one divides |
| A desert’s not a mountainside |
| 'cause one has need for open space |
| The other simply in its place |
| It must be known far and wide |
| That a desert’s not a mountainside |
| A moth is not a butterfly |
| And I know why, I know why |
| It kind of makes you want to cry |
| That a moth is not a butterfly |
