Lyrics — Butterfly Free
Butterfly Free
by Jamie Hartley
No one told you how to grow wings
You're not meant to stay on the ground
The net will ensnare
those soft wings will tear
flutter, float, fly free
All the flowers match your true colors
Kept by the keeper and frail as you
They all turn their heads
To see your wings spread
flutter, float, fly free
Flutter high, butterfly
Lifted by every try.
Glide near by, stay, for I
Am lifted high to see you fly.
Petals for your silky sails give
Nectar to float those masterful wings
The thanks that you give
Brings more life to live
Flutter, float, fly, free

With skin as delicate as a butterfly wing, people who suffer with EB are often referred to as "Butterfly Children." I am often puzzled by people telling me that I inspire them. How am I an inspiration? I just do what I have to do. How is that inspiring? That question has been answered by the many others I have met who also suffer with EB. My life is better just knowing that they are out there living each day, trying their best. I am lifted by just knowing them.
This song was written for my Butterfly Friends, both the living and not living.
