Butterfly Island is a musical story, setting out to display something of the human condition.
It poses 'the questions of life in song' from early childhood to the 'sunset years', as each generation moves slowly but surely towards the finishing line ...

Lyrics
See the children running, the dirty streets,
Old worn shoes upon their tired feet,
There's nowhere to go and there's nothing on the move
You know, you know, they're children born to lose
Ten year old boys, they're staging a street fight,
It's 11 o'clock but they don't sleep at night,
They're human beings not just stories on the news
You know, you know, they're children born to lose
My hand reaches out to the children born to lose,
'Cos there's a place in my heart for the one's who been abused,
Hear a cry go out and it's intended for me and you,
"Oh, suffer the children !", the children born to lose
One boy standing all alone and cold,
'Cos he don't even know the meaning of 'Home'
He ain't got nothing to clean his runny nose
And you can bet his clothes won't hide the cold
There's nothing to say when you meet him face to face,
Your words are spat upon, he'll leave a nasty taste,
His mouth is filled with hurt, his eyes are filled with hate
You'd better love this boy before it's all too late !
My hand reaches out to the children born to lose,
Reach out to pick them up all the one's who've been abused,
Hear a cry go out and it's intended for me and you,
"Oh, suffer the children !", the children born to lose.
They sleep in bags and sleep in boxes
Walk around the streets at night like foxes
Malnutrition say their diets are poor
Emotional broken lonely to the core
No sign of their family
Or people that care
Not knowing their tomorrow
They are living in fear
The conditions they are living in
are severe
Open up your ears
Take a minute listen and hear
Born to win not to lose they wernt
It Shouldn't be this way
So many lessons they've learnt
Rejected, neglected, by humanity
They feel anguish, hatred anxiety
Take some steps to care for the young
We can all play a part in helping someone.
There are children out there that could do with our help
Don't Turn your back on these kids
Help them to excel ...
My hand reaches out to the children born to lose,
Reach out to pick them up all the one's who've been abused,
Hear a cry go out and it's intended for me and you,
"Oh, suffer the children !", the children born to lose.
"Suffer the Children ..."
