Metamorphosis

As I leave this empty shell
Am I changing or learning to fly?
Leaving all the past behind
Is it possible to be kept as one?

Flap these wings to meet my fate

Is it a miracle of life I see
Or a law I can’t avoid?
Can we really choose the one to be
Carrying out our destiny?

How can good turn to bad?
Am I free or under control?
Does this life belong to me?
How can we face a future we
can’t foresee?

Flap these wings and never stop

Is it a miracle of life I see
Or a law I can’t avoid?
Can we really choose the one to be
Carrying out our destiny?

Isn’t it beautiful the life we see
And all that moves around?
Is it a deadly sin, daring to believe
To control metamorphosis?

Are we in the hands of science
Or does philosophy hold the key?
Resignation, love and honor
Hoping to share one day immortality

Flap these wings to meet my fate
Flap these wings and never stop
