Lyrics
How does a butterfly change it’s direction
Contemplating the process of a butterfly altering its course
Where will I go
Expressing uncertainty about the speaker's own direction or future
How does a butterfly change it’s direction
Reflecting on the transformative ability of a butterfly
Where do I go
Reiterating the speaker's uncertainty about where they are headed
If the wind blows: where will it go if the wind blows
Pondering the destination of something when influenced by the wind
Where will I go
Continuing the theme of uncertainty regarding the speaker's own path
How does a butterfly change it’s direction
Revisiting the idea of a butterfly's ability to change direction
Where will I go, where will I go
Expressing a repeated concern about the speaker's future destination
Got some change for some chewing gum
Introducing a mundane situation (change for chewing gum) that contrasts with the butterfly's transformative nature
I need the muscles of a butterfly flying
Desiring the strength and freedom symbolized by a butterfly in flight
Where will I go, where will I go
Repeating the earlier uncertainty about the speaker's future path
Where will I go
Reiterating the question about the speaker's destination
(Guitar solo)
Instrumental section, no lyrics
How does a butterfly change it’s direction
Returning to the theme of a butterfly's ability to change direction
Where will I go, where will I go
Reiterating the speaker's uncertainty about their future destination
Where will I go
Repeating the question about the speaker's ultimate destination
