Why do all the worst things happen to the best of us?
And why does all the life God makes just turn to dust?
Why the hell is there a hell at all?
And why would God let angels fall
If they were created to fly
So if you’re up there could you ask him why

Ans send me a butterfly
And let it be the color of your eyes
Show me a falling star
The second I'm wondering where you are
Let me hear our favorite song
The next time I turn the radio on
If you’re up there on the other side
Send me a butterfly

So tell me why it had to be your time to go
If you’re in a better place then I’ve just got to know
Are there angels where you are
‘Cause where I am, it feels so dark
I’ve never seen a blacker night
So if you’re up there where it’s always light

Send me a butterfly
And let it be the color of your eyes
Show me a falling star
The second I'm wondering where you are
Let me hear our favorite song
The next time I turn the radio on
If you’re up there on the other side
Send me a butterfly
Send me a butterfly

I know they say to have some faith
But right now I just need a sign

So send me a butterfly
And let it be the color of your eyes
Show me a falling star
The second I'm wondering where you are
Let me hear our favorite song
The next time I turn the radio on
If you’re up there on the other side
I know you’re up there on the other side
So send me a butterfly
