scared to fly

Curled up tight in my cocoon
Afraid the sky might come too soon
The wind it whispers, calls my name
But I'm not sure I'm built for change

What if I fall, what if I break?
I fear the leap I'll have to take
But deep inside, a spark ignites
Maybe I was made for flight

I'm scared to fly, but I'll spread my wings
The fear inside won't stop what courage brings
The sky is wide, the ground feels far
But I'll chase my dreams, no matter who we are

The world outside is big and bright
But I've been hiding from the light
I watch the others soar so free
Wondering if that's meant for me

What if I fall, what if I break?
I fear the leap I'll have to take
But deep inside, a spark ignites
Maybe I was made for flight

I may be small, but I'm alive
And in this fear, I'll learn to thrive
Even if I stumble, even if I cry
I won't let this moment pass me by
And though I'm scared, I'll rise so high
A butterfly that dares to fly

Now I'm floating, I feel the breeze
A thousand dreams beneath my feet
I rise with wings ablaze
Tipped in black, with golden rays
A burst of flame against the blue
Shining brighter than I ever knew

Now the stars are within my reach
No longer tethered to the ground beneath
I'll soar through skies I once denied
A butterfly reborn in fearless flight
