Butterfly

Little caterpillar, small and content All her life in the cocoon she spent The world called out, come out and play Outside is not safe, inside I will stay Life passed by without rhyme or reason Day in, day out without a season What is my purpose, why am I here If I go outside, I will die of fear There must be more to life than this What’s happening out there, what did I miss Come out, come out, she heard them say You must not miss another day Help me, help me, I’m ready now Reach out your hand we will show you how She stepped outside and wept and wept For all the time that she had slept You don’t need to cry for it is true The one who loves you makes all things new So do not fret, you did not die Behold you are now a butterfly!
