Great Awakening

Wake up! Caterpillar,
There’s more in life to see,
The world’s far bigger,
Don’t you want to flee?
Are you really contented?
Blended to that tree,
Set your sights higher,
Reach! Touch! Desire,
Grow a pair of wings,
Jump off! Trust! Defy!
Take a look outside yourself,
Transforming as we speak
Rebirthing into butterfly,
Rising to higher peaks,
Second chances starting,
Into the clouds and fly,	
With all your shining colors,
Step forth and testify,
Look from a different viewpoint,
Life had cocooned you in,
Rise up butterfly,
New journeys now begin.
