Shy Butterfly

Is enslavement better than freedom Feeling safe instead of facing the unknown Don't hide inside forever shy sheltering safe in your warm cocoon The world so big the sky so blue lovely are the flowers in full bloom A rainy day or a storm or two but nothing you can't get through It's better to try spread your wings and fly Don't deny your yearning inside beautiful beautiful shy butterfly The world has both chills and thrills turn on the facet for an empty pail to fill Crawl out of the shadows into the sun fresh and new spring has sprung A summer's dream an Autumn's wish a winter's rest to remember and relish For if too long you hide deep inside That safe space of your enclosed cocoon False the choice to your dreams denied You bury yourself alvie in a tomb Wake up and live those dreams break out with your heart's schemes Be free live big, a roaring cry My beautiful beautiful shy butterfly Oppressed we are buried worms With liberty we are butterflies who soar the Heavens
