Intro:

You light up my sky

Beneath it I fly

I'm dreaming inside

My life is a beauty

 

(Rap)

We all know the childhood stories

The caterpillar became a butterfly, the ugly duckling a swan

Our wings are hidden from the unworthy

They glance, don't see it, and then they move on

 

But strong girl, you know you were born to fly

All the tears and pain you've kept inside

Today's the day you can finally metamorphosize

Everyone will see you, beautiful butterfly

 

Chorus:

You light up my sky

Beneath it I fly

I'm dreaming inside

My life is a beauty

 

Verse:

I remember the dream that I had

It's been trampled on, pushed deep inside of my head

Funny how I've dug it up, I see it now

There's a light shining bright, lighting up the night

 

With my dream deep in my heart

Taking a roadtrip in the dark

Why not - cause in this world

There's so much we don't know yet

 

And I look back at yesterday

My tears streaming down my face

Past another pointless day, oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh

Goodbye now, my yesterday

My future is wide awake

I'll learn to embrace this now, here I go

 

Chorus:

You light up my sky

Beneath it I fly

I'm dreaming inside

My life is a beauty

 

My life is a beauty

 

Bridge:

Leaves will fall, flowers wilt

I had troubled times...but my light stayed by my side

And those distant days, oh so long ago

Now I fly on splendidly

 

Chorus:

Light pours from the sky

I see with new eyes (with my new eyes)

So happy to fly (fly high, fly high)

This is my own beauty

 

Outro:

And I close my eyes

At last it's my time

And finally I rise
