LYRICS: VERSE 1
From Canada and the states to the heart of Mexico
We migrate to survive, to help our species grow
We look like orange silken paper, cascading in the sky
But our will is set in stone, we’re flying for our lives

CHORUS
La lala lalala Butterflies
La lala lalala Monarch, Butterflies
La lala lalala Butterflies, Lala lala lala la
Oh you monarch butterflies

VERSE 2
Most monarch butterflies only live a month or two
But the thousands who fly south, we’re a special group
We fly 3,000 miles, escape the cold, then we go to sleep
On the same trees each year, we wake up in the spring
