lyrics

light above, flood my heart
I have cried for your help
the breeze is warm but I'm inside
mystic asks, "where's your love?"

I'll be the dance. I'll be the song
a little birdy said, "you're never wrong"
I'll be the wind, I'll be a tree
I am heart, not the body

here am I, in my cage
butterfly, fly away
on your quest, find the key
but don't forget to fly back to me

today I met you for the very first time
although I've held your heart in my hands
you disappeared, all but your light
now you can see clear without eyesight

here am I, in my cage
butterfly, fly away
on your quest, find the key
but don't forget to come back for me

here am I, in the pit
butterfly, fly far from it
if you die on your quest
I will try my very best

about

Emma Perri Edmonton, Alberta

Emma Perri's music is heartful, rich, intimate and can often be a very deep journey into what it means to be real and true to yourself. She describes it as an experimental and playful way to express the most absurd and personal depths within her head and heart.
