Butterfly in Changi Airport's Butterfly Garden.
We know the butterfly effect
Can bring results you don't expect
Where am I in the universe?
I don't think I'm here to rehearse
My time in judgement on a cloud
A balcony seat, to laugh out loud
At all mistakes made down below
Whilst I in limbo cease to grow
But if each thing's done for a reason
And there is good in each bad season
And there is good in plague and drought
You simply have to find it out
A million years of history
Weren't all designed for making me!
Why was I born? Do not ask why
Yet maybe I'm a butterfly!
Now that I'm here
Actions bring results. That's clear.
Something I do, and don't forget
Could have a big, beautiful effect
Maybe one smile, or just two tears
Will change the next three million years!
So it's important what you say
Your simple word could change my day
Did you like this? I'll try to guess
You'll change my world by saying yes!
Time's like trains on a railway line
We travel though light years of time.
If circles, not straight lines, believe
Resurrect, return to Adam and Eve
In heaven it's strange if all will change
Maybe all things will stay the same
Winners will always win the game
A rose by any other name
We might as well go with the flow
We all progress, and grow, we know
In sunlight, moonlight, candle glow -
Reach the same place with yes or no?
Now do I see the same as you?
Do you see green and call it blue?
Do you see blue but call it green?
Yet we both know what we both mean
Let's think and talk till we agree
I think like you, you think like me
We'll work hard to make others see
That I'm like you and you're like me
And we're both like a butterfly
Lives short, perfect, in time's jigsaw sky..
