Hiding away, away from the world
Keeping secret and fearing the unknown,
Withholding what's inside, dissolved and out of sight
It's the notion being alone.
Break free.
And you must fly free.
You'll never break me.
You will never take me.
Emerge from the chrysalis,
slowly spreading the wings,
soar into the sky,
and open up your mind.
The rain will pour,
the sky will fall,
And through it all you are reborn.
Reborn.
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn to fly,
I won't give in and I refuse to die,
A chrysalis, waiting to be free,
From this shell that’s suffocating me.
I can't hold on for much longer,
Swaying in this breeze
With a push from viscious winds,
I fall down to my knees.
Emerge from the chrysalis,
slowly spreading the wings,
soar into the sky,
and open up your mind.
Emerge from the chrysalis,
Having lessons learned,
Come out stronger,
Through adversity.
The transformation is complete.
Break free,
And you must fly free.
You will never take me.
