"Concerning Change"
the glass globe that encased my heart shatters at the floor
the ground echoes around me as my world explodes
flashes of light in the dark of night
by fear i'm captivated
even though i've come this far
by innocence i'm jaded
[chorus]
like a caterpillar someday must change
the time has come to rearrange my world
the truth exposed but i don't know
where my life is taken
i'm thrown about, i'm breakin' out
don't you be mistaken
i'm starting new, no thanks to you, the sky i will pursue
like a butterfly flies on through, i'll fly on too
misguided in this dark new realm i'm lost in search of light
i sense myself, i'm drowning, the black eats me alive
i'm fighting back, i'm on my own
with no one for solid ground
a single girl misplaced herself
but here she hopes she's found
[chorus]
like a caterpillar someday must change
the time has come to rearrange my world
the truth exposed but i don't know
where my life is taken
i'm thrown about, i'm breakin' out
don't you be mistaken
i'm starting new, no thanks to you, the sky i will pursue
like a butterfly flies on through i'll fly on too
stronger than i've ever been, assured i have become
these wings that now surround me, will fly me til i'm done
if i don't die, i'm sure to fly
what doesn't kill us makes us strong
there's reasoning for everything
and now i realize why
[chorus]
like a caterpillar someday must change
the time has come to rearrange my world
the truth exposed but i don't know
where my life is taken
i'm thrown about, i'm breakin' out
don't you be mistaken
i'm starting new, no thanks to you, the sky i will pursue
like a butterfly flies on through i'll fly on too
