So you born
And so you thought
The future's ours
To keep and hold
Oh, child within
Has healing ways
It sees it through
My darkest days

Chorus:
           A                  C
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
          D           A
In that dream of mine
           A                  C
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
          D          A
In that dream of mine
A     C   D               A
Oh-oh-oh, in my elusive dreams

Something learned through life, no fun
I want to feel, I want to run

I'm goin' to keep catching that butterfly
in that dream of mine
Keep catching that butterfly in that dream of mine
I'm goin' to keep catching that butterfly
in that dream of mine

In my darkest dream
In my darkest dream
In my darkest dream

My forgotten schemes
