SONG
Verse 1.
When I was a little Girl
I loved to Chase the butterflies
Tried to catch them in my hands
So I could feel their powdery eyes
chorus: But the Butterfly
The ButterFlys Away
Verse 2.
Running Through Green corn fields
Milkweed Tickling on my Heels
I'd fall down laughing and they'd
Escape My curious Hands
chorus: And the Butterflies
The Butterflys Away
Verse 3.
Down to Mexico
They've Got a 2,000 Mile Journey to Go
But if the Monarch's habitat is gone
They'll go and never come back
chorus repeat
Verse 4.
Now the Milkweeds gone
Money's bought up all the corn
In the last RoundUp
We're drinking Poison
From their Cup
Chorus Repeat
Verse 5.
There's a Mountain Top
Waiting for the Monarch's Return
Sacred Fir Trees Stand
Hoping they will find their way home
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Verse 1.
