[Intro]
This is grown folks' music

[Verse 1]
See a butterfly up in the sky
I got a story to say and I'll tell you why
I'm searchin'
You see my friend and I need someone
Who feels and needs the same as I
I'm searchin'
What's right is right and what's wrong is wrong
I'm gonna sing my song all day long
I'm searchin'

[Chorus]
Searchin', searchin', searchin', searchin', searchin'
Searchin', searchin', searchin', searchin', searchin'
Searchin', searchin', searchin', searchin', searchin'

[Verse 2]
See a butterfly up in the sky
I got a story to say and I'll tell you why
I'm searchin'
You see my friend and I need someone
Who feels and needs the same as I
I'm searchin'
What's right is right and what's wrong is wrong
I'm gonna sing my song all day long
I'm searchin'
See a butterfly up in the sky
I got a story to say and I'll tell you why
I'm searchin'

[Chorus]
Searchin', searchin', searchin', searchin', searchin'
Searchin', searchin', searchin', searchin', searchin'
Searchin', searchin', searchin', searchin', searchin'
