to unfold
i am a butterfly, gradually unfolding from where i've been cooped up all my life
wings soak in the light, gradually knowing all that's possible amidst the flight
my body lifts, my soul forgives
(chorus)
oh to unfold such as the dawning
awakening us all, all to life
oh to unfold like a gift that's opening
the changing of it all, oh the surprise
these wings they give, this heart it lives
to unfold
i am a rose, gradually unfolding forth from the seed through the storms
slowly i grow, new leaves forming beauty in the color among the thorns
my scent is good, this gift understood
(chorus)
these leaves they give, this heart it lives
to unfold
as the story unfolds as our book
chapters written by their own lines
as we walk through desert and woods
rivers crossed in their own time
(chorus)
oh to unfold such as the dawning
awakening us all, all to life
oh to unfold like christmas morning
the innocence of a baby, welcomed by the wise
this way it gives, this heart it lives
to unfold
