My eyes were blind My heart was numb My brain did not think the right things
I tried to fly but I always fell I tried to sing but my voice was covered I was fed lies Lies so that I can hold Scissors to cut the wings of another human being
Pretty soon I emerged out of my cocoon The place that I thought was safe Pretty soon I realized That I have grown wings too One wing pink purple and blue Another one Black gray white and purple Together they make the most beautiful rainbow My identity It is time to spread my wings and fly It is time to lift other people up It is time to help others spread their wings So that they can be beautiful butterflies too And emerge from their shells of hiding Emerge with wings...
