Yesterday a butterfly came floating gently through the sky
He soared up through the atmosphere then drifted close enough to hear
I said, "I'd love to fly with you and sail around the way you do
It looks like it would be such fun to fly up toward the summer sun
But I have not your graceful charm and I haven't wings, just these two arms
I've been designed to walk around, My human feet must touch the ground"
Then magically he spoke to me and told me what his wish would be
He said, "What I'd love most to do is walk upon God's Earth with you,
To squish it's mud between my toes or touch my finger to my nose
I'd love just once to walk around with human feet to touch the ground,
It looks like it would be such fun to fly up toward the summer sun
But I have not your graceful charm and I haven't wings, just these two arms
I've been designed to walk around, My human feet must touch the ground"
Then magically he spoke to me and told me what his wish would be

To squish it's mud between my toes or touch my finger to my nose
I'd love just once to walk around with human feet to touch the ground,
But I have not two legs that swing, I haven't arms, just these two wings"
And so we went our separate ways in wonder and surprise
For we'd both seen God's precious gifts through someone else's eyes...
