about

this song was written especially to benefit EBRP. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to funding the cause:

EB Research Partnership (EBRP) is the largest global organization dedicated to funding research to treat and cure Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).

EB attacks the skin — not just the skin we see, but also the skin inside of us. The resulting wounds never heal. Disfigurement, blisters, bleeding, and ever-present pain follow.

It is lethal for many of the children born with it.

But that is changing. Through the hard work of scientists, we’re on the precipice of a cure. Not only that, but the methodology we’ve pioneered to develop a cure holds the key to helping millions suffering from rare diseases.

lyrics

verse 1
Little butterfly child
let me walk for a mile
ooo, in your shoes
under delicate skin
the strength of soldiers within
ooo, fighting for you

Prechorus 1
and i know you're tired of being so strong
but someday soon we'll dry those tears
and those cries will turn to song

Chorus
Cuz I believe that we will find you
your simple cure
we'll unravel all the bandages
you won't need anymore
and I believe that we will find you
a place where you can smile
where all the marigolds grow wild
my little butterfly
child

Verse 2
Little butterfly life
when the world is a knife
ooo, cutting through you
when you're on a high wire
and your skin and your throat is on fire
ooo, what do you do?
And I know you're tired
of keeping your head up high
cuz you're fighting pain
and it's pouring rain
but there's hope behind your eyes

Chorus

Bridge

we're watching as you're hurting
cold hearts will thaw and start searching
for answers as you fight this
we'll cure this
God as my witness
'Cause you deserve to know
what it feels like to run wild
Stronger than a diamond
but all the while
my little butterfly child

Chorus 3
