My child eyes watch the flying monarch billowing in the great gust of wind
Her delicate body shivers, catching her breath against the
Watercolor, sun-stained cruelty
I have the confidence of a no-good, reckless, mischievous daughter
Almost fully blossomed into her final form
Unforgiving depths, forever calling (catching her breath against the)
Her powerful arms stretch wide (catching her breath against the)
Float on! (courage! courage!) Monarch! (courage! courage!)
Float on! (courage! courage!) Daughter! (courage! courage!)
Daughter, where's your strength? Smile down at that precipice!
Monarch, find your mark! Fly until the very end! (courage! courage!)
You may not know the path you lead, I pray you'll have a tough set of wings!
Float on! (courage! courage!) Monarch!
Float on! (courage! courage!) Daughter!
