[Verse 1] Woke up heavy Staring at these same four walls Dreams feel distant Like names I used to call Got my back bent Carrying a day that’s twice my size But there’s a whisper Growing louder in my mind [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I’m buried so I can grow Maybe this slowing is how I’ll know Every small step through the strain Is turning all this weight to wings [Chorus] Like a caterpillar in a cocoon Holding on tight in a tiny room Pressure on all sides Can’t see the sky Still I tell my heart “Just give it time” ‘Cause these hard days They shape my spine Teach me how to bend and still stay kind One day I’ll break through Reach the light Fly high Free and bright [Verse 2] Friends move faster Posting all their perfect days I move inches Crawling through the tangled maze But the changing Happens where the world can’t see In the quiet Where I learn to still believe [Pre-Chorus] Maybe this waiting is part of flight Maybe my shadows are kissing light Every deep breath in the dark Is building color in my heart [Chorus] Like a caterpillar in a cocoon Holding on tight in a tiny room Pressure on all sides Can’t see the sky Still I tell my heart “Just give it time” ‘Cause these hard days They shape my spine Teach me how to bend and still stay kind One day I’ll break through Reach the light Fly high Free and bright [Bridge] I’ve been wrapped up In everything I fear But love keeps humming “Hold on You’re almost there” (oh yeah) Shells can crack and Old skins fall away I’ll step out shining Thankful for the weight [Chorus] Like a caterpillar in a cocoon Holding on tight in a tiny room Pressure on all sides Can’t see the sky Still I tell my heart “Just give it time” ‘Cause these hard days They shape my spine Teach me how to bend and still stay kind Now I’m breaking through Feel the light I’m flying Free and bright [Outro] From the low grass To the open blue Every struggle Carried me to you Every long night Taught my soul to rise Cocoon to sky Cocoon to sky (hey!) Cocoon to sky I fly
