Above and beyond


A tree was once just a seed.

A lion was once just a cub.

A teratornis was once just an egg.

A butterfly was once just a caterpillar.

 

Don’t underestimate my potential.

I once was a vagrant wandering on the empty streets,

But today I shine brighter than the sun in the

Fine summertime.
