Metamorphosis

My cocoon has grown confining
think I'd like to stretch my wings
Feel the dew evaporating
As the sun beams down and sings

Reach for your piece of sky
Never fear what eyes can see
And when you've found your strength to fly
You'll know that you are free

There are stars I've never noticed
Clinging to the arms of night
In luminous whirls of color
Bleeding hope to feed my sight

I'll reach for my piece of sky
Never fear what eyes can see
And when I've found my strength to fly
I'll know that I am free

and I'll lose, lose myself
in that blue, blue, blue sea
I'll lose, lose myself
and finally

I'll reach for my piece of sky
Never fear what eyes can see
And when I've found my strength to fly
I'll know that I am free
