The Monarchs' Mystery

The Monarchs' Mystery

The incredible annual migration of the monarch butterfly is one of nature's greatest mysteries. In early fall, millions of monarchs from all over the eastern United States travel as many as two thousand miles to converge into a few special acres in Mexico. Their numbers turn entire trees into golden gray, weighing down and even breaking branches. Four to five generations separate the monarch populations that make the migration. Each year the ones flying south have never been to Mexico before. They get there and back by pure instinct.

The Monarchs' Mystery

Skies are alive with black & gold
Butterflies, flutter by
In late September off they go
All the way to Mexico

(Chorus)
How do they know
The way to go?
How can they know,
When they've never been there before?

Are they led by a whisper in the wind,
Secret signs from ancient times?
Innate forces are in control
The monarchs' mystery may never, ever be known.

(Chorus)

Could it be they're following the same guide
That's hidden inside every one of us?
