LYRICS

I dreamed of a milkweed highway

There were milkweeds on all sides

The purple buds blossomed in the sun

Then came the monarch butterflies

​

There were orange wings so far as I could see

From the meadows to the sky

I watched them fly

I watched them fly

​

The monarchs laid all their eggs

Underneath the milkweed leaves

The caterpillars grew until they somehow knew

A chrysalis they should weave

​

Once inside they began to change

When they came out they soared so high

I watched them fly

I watched them fly

​

The monarchs became homesick

And started to fly south

The milkweed pods grew so full of seeds

That the seeds finally burst out

​

The sailed away on their silken wings

All along milkweed highway

I watched them fly

I watched them fly

I watched them fly

I watched them fly
