The Chrysalid

Put your head in the dirt,
And start to eat your way down.
Your belly will hurt,
But keep on eating it down.
Wiggle like the worm,
But keep on wriggling down.
Till you reach the centre,
You can lay yourself down.

Lay yourself down

Deep in the darkness,
You feel your body failing.
Listen to the silence,
You hear the trumpets a wailing.
You try to make out the sound,
Its getting louder now,
A little louder now,
Its getting louder now
I am the chrysalid born

Jump up into the sky,
Suck in all of the air.
Float, flap, hover or fly,
But keep on sucking that air.
When you reach the heavens,
Its best you don't look down.
Find yourself a nice patch on the cloud,
Where you can lay yourself down.

Lay yourself down

(I'm going through the strangest changes)
