Butterfly Africa August 2013 | Page 13

You’re only on Earth for about 60 minutes

so in the true sense of the word live life without limits

this is Butterfly Africa we’re champions not amateurs

we flap our wings

Self worth was low losing confidence like every limb

and then I had an inspiration it seemed so random

so now flap your wings that’s the anthem

I remember I was on my twitter pages being so evasive

I was torn between doing something amazing or checking out the new film latest

but another shot at redemption

joining together to change people’s perceptions

the way people think is the way they act

Friday photoshoot now the camera goes snap

stand up to all oppressors and enemies

the Lord is my Shepherd Psalm.23

be honest

I was down a blind alley in a dark forest now I find solace

storyteller it seems so instinctive

Mandela so distinguished

at one time it felt our hopes were extinguished

we sought forgiveness but what we used to seek was only in our own interest

looking forward to the future be patient

wish we could do it sooner a changed person

you’ve seen a new version

I’m going to contribute something that’s certain

see my own reflection in the puddles

I was blind but now I see

I’m out of the tunnel yes certainly

I’m out of the dark I shine now like the brightest star

I was in the deep can’t go for shallow

dive headfirst and that was the whole point of this verse

and before you finish pray for a blessing not a curse

yeah call that rolling in the deep

I’ve found the route to success

I’ve found the key this is the discovery

no nightmares anymore

I’ve also found peace It's like the four cardinal points North, South, West, East

I’m on a whole different level

I’m in my prime so to speak
