The Butterfly Effect

I'm just a girl who's still a caterpillar
Hoping one day people will see
Will see my potential of breaking through the cocoon

Waiting for that glamourous growth
From inside my little transparent home
Hoping I'll find something that's mine, 
After I break the barriers of my own 

Waiting for that amazing moment
When I come out of the comfort zone
Hoping they see my body has grown
Hoping they see my life has shone 

Waiting to grab everything I can
And not counting my days anymore
Hoping they don't cut off my wings
Hoping they don't tie me back down

I'm just a girl who's now a butterfly
Hoping that freedom is my forever throne
