I am a butterfly
Beautiful and free, flying where I please
Small and seemingly insignificant
But full of life
I am a butterfly

I started out as something else
Ugly and awkward
But transformed into a brilliant being
Different, transformed, but still the same
I am a butterfly

I am free to see the world
I am not kept in
I was once in a shell, unable to escape
Now I am transformed and free
I am a butterfly
