Butterfly
As a kid, we dream to fly
Small and chubby stuck to the ground
Possibly conquering a leaf through devotion
We Jump from the leaf with an expectation
As a kid, we dream to fly
Eventually after jumping billions of times
We try again
Try to fly
This time
There is a jump
But no landing, no flying
We get caught on the leaf
We unknowingly attach ourselves
In a cocoon on what should've led us to fly
There we develop
We become something that can fly
As a kid, we dream to fly
After days of staying in the middle ground
not landing not flying
We become something that can fly
We break the shell that helped us develop
We climb to the top of the leaf
That we've depended on throughout our life
And we jump
There is no landing no getting stuck
As a kid, we dream to fly
And now we fly
