❝ Future butterfly
Gonna spend the day
Higher than high
You’ll be
Beautiful confusion, ooh
Oooh
Once I was you
Ah, ah…
Ah, ah…
I saw you caught between
All the people out
Making a scene
In a bright
Ideal tomorrow, ooh
Don’t go too far
Stay who you are
Ah, ah…
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
You only live a day
But it’s brilliant anyway
I saw you out
A perfect place
It’s gonna happen soon
But not today
So go to sleep
Amid the change
I’ll meet you here tomorrow
Independence day
Independence day
Independence day ❞

Enjoy!
