Oh, are you ready? are you ready?
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly

Baby, you know
You have become a butterfly"
Baby, you
You have become a butterfly

Come spread your wings and just fly
Come spread your wings and just fly
Come spread your wings and just fly
Butterfly

Oh yeah, oh

Don't be afraid to fly
Spread your wings
Open up the door
So much more outside

Don't be afraid to fly
Come spread your wings
Spread your wings and see the light inside
Fly, just fly
Fly, just fly
Don't be afraid
Don't let your spirit die
She says

"Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly"

So much more inside
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
Don't be afraid to fly
Don't be afraid to fly
Butterfly
You have become a butterfly
(butterfly)
Ohh, butterfly (butterfly)
Butterfly (oh-oh-oh-ah-ah)

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly

I can't change it, I can't make it
You just gotta spread those wings
I can't keep it in me to
Spread your wings and fly away
Fly sweet baby

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
