about

Butterflies is the 3rd single from MUFASSA’s ‘Life in the Left Hand Lane’ Acoustic Solo EP, a compilation of songs inspired by life on the road, touring Australia in a 2005 Roadstar caravan. This track has a unique honesty in its lyrics, beautifully complimented by a raw acoustic guitar and subtle banjo.

I wrote Butterflies in 2018 when my life was in a period of massive change. I was nervous about making decisions and spent loads of time worrying about the potential consequences. In the end, I couldn’t sit around and wait any longer for change to happen to me, I had to take charge and stop being a passenger in my own life!

lyrics

There’s a butterfly and it’s sitting by the window, waiting for the breeze to come and sweep it away.
And I’m humbled by its pure sense of beauty, and the patience that it’s shown me today.
Cos if life was only here for one day, would you sit around and wait for change, or embrace the day?
Last night I had the strangest feeling, that something beautiful was coming my way.
I said it must be all of this positive thinking, now the universe has come back to say.
That if life was only here for one day, would you sit around and wait for change, or embrace the day?
Oooh, oooh, oooh, or embrace the day?
It’s coming round the bend,
Oooh,
It’s coming round the bend.
If life was only here for one day, would you sit around and wait for change?
Cos if life was only here for one day, would you sit around and wait for change, or embrace the day?
Oooh, oooh, oooh, or embrace the day?
