Left alone to fend myself
I am but a speck on a leaf
But soon I break my humble shell
And wriggle out into a beautiful dell
For now my world is little and bound
And I know not the earth as round
But as I feed and as I grow
Changes around me I shall know
Born of a shell I make my own
For a new path I have been shown
As I break out of this new spell
I shall have a new tale to tell
The metamorphosis gives me wings
An honor denied even to kings
Soon this wide world I shall know
And seeds to a new future I shall sow
