The Ocean and the Butterfly (Lyrics)

Once I had a dream
stuck somewhere in between
the water and the beach
oh, both worlds out of reach
so with elegance and style
caught a wave and took a ride

My empty plastic bag
starry night
floats into the black
look at how she dip and dive, but
no one could ever know, yeah
how many miles she'll go
or how she does with such elegance and style
look at how she dip and dive

Take only what you need
like the water and the seed
yeah, so after we are gone
there'll be something good to carry on
all this elegance and style
dancing with the butterfly
yeah, yeah, yeah

Now, math's no miracle
it's all grown mechanical
oh, machine by selves design, yeah
to float into the sky
with such elegance and style
the ocean and the butterfly
