Butterflies (The Promised Land) | Jump, I’ve Got You

I asked God if I should get divorced. He said, "Jump. I've got you." Then He sent the butterflies. Butterflies is the third song in my Exodus series, written for every woman who has left a controlling relationship and is learning, slowly, to trust herself, her body, and her faith again. This is the Promised Land: not a perfect ending, just a quiet one that finally belongs to you. Original lyrics and concept by Michelle Baric. Music produced with Suno. 🦋 THE EXODUS SERIES 1. The Voice in My Head (Egypt) 2. Enough for Today (The Wilderness) 3. Butterflies (The Promised Land) If you're still in Egypt, or wandering the wilderness, I see you. Your gut knows the truth.

LYRICS [Intro] I asked God if I should get divorced. He said, jump. I've got you. Then He sent the butterflies. [Verse 1] Cereal for dinner at a quarter after nine Nobody at the table telling me it's not the time Bought a ticket home to sit with Mom and Dad Didn't ask a soul, just packed the bag I had [Pre-Chorus] Quiet like the center of a hurricane I kept bracing for the other side to come again [Chorus] Butterflies, butterflies I had to melt to nothing before I learned to fly All those years on the ground, I couldn't see the sky Now I see the whole field, now I understand why He sent one for the jump, one for the fall One for the hands that caught me through it all Butterflies [Verse 2] Took a stranger's hand on a Saturday floor Felt my body wake up like it knew the steps before Felt the beat before he moved, nothing left to fear Turns out following is easy when the one who leads can hear [Pre-Chorus] Still got giants, money, getting old alone Who am I if I'm not wife, now the children all are grown [Bridge] Promised land in borrowed rooms, a suitcase by the door I prayed for freedom, didn't know it meant needing less, not more Now I pray forgive me, forgive him, forgive them all Let me loosen up my hands, let me stop bracing for the fall There's a calm inside my body, restless but it's mine You said jump, I've got you, and You caught me every time [Final Chorus] ... If my children ever ask me why the butterflies I'll tell them every one was God's reply Butterflies, I'm learning to fly [Outro] To the woman at six-fifteen: Your gut knows the truth. Trust it. When it says no, say no. Keep an eye on the money. You need a way out. Be present with your children. They grow so fast. © 2026 Michelle Baric.
