Butterfly
The lyrics is in memory of her aunt that passed away some years back. Anne Lene wrote this song when she was heartbroken.
What does the butterfly symbolize?
The butterfly is an old church symbol of transformation, resurrection and hope. The life cycle of the butterfly from caterpillar transforming into a pupa, which then transforms into a beautiful butterfly, reminds us of God's constant and continuing creative care and presence in the world
