Lazarus Video (MV)

I took the last one to a soft place
It was made of things I can't explain
But it was just as real
As anything I'll ever feel
Any pleasure or any pain
Any pleasure or any pain

I found this one next to the sidewalk
It reminded me of someone else
'Cause all the time it lived
It only knew how to give
Whether in poverty or wealth
Whether in poverty or wealth

Well, I'm not looking for a chrysalis
No, redemption's not for me
I just want to know
How the universe can grow
Such beauty in this misery

I've seen a million of 'em in the Springtime
They spread their wings just like a smile
To my eyes they talk
While on the air they walk
Even more innocent than a child
Even more innocent than a child

Well, I'm not looking for a chrysalis
No, redemption's not for me
I'm just trying to guess
How the universe can bless
Such beauty to this misery

My best friend, she is a woman
And I'm her worst enemy
I don't know why
Such a beautiful butterfly
Chose to love someone like me
Chose to love something like me

I even saw a few in prison
I was like a blind one seeing light
I know I'm a man
But please try to understand
My hero is a butterfly
I wish I was a butterfly
