Butterflies begin
From having been another
As a child is born
From being in a mother's womb
But how many times have you
wished you were some other
someone than who you are

Yet who's to say
If all were uncovered
You will like what you see
You can only be you
As I can only be me

Flowers cannot bloom
Until it is their season
As we would not be here
unless it was our destiny
But how many times have you
wished to be in spaces
Time places than what you were
Yet who's to say with unfamiliar
faces You could anymore be
Loving you that you see
You can only be you
As I can only be
Me

I can only be me
