Lyrics:

VERSE 1:
There are times when I stand by a mirror
to take a close look at myself,
and the face that I see, looking right back at me
wishes it was someone else.

But there is only one you
a fragment of light from above,
that would joyfully serve and cling to Hashem
if only it knew the depth of His love.

CHORUS 1:
Time to leave your cocoon, my dear butterfly
show yourself and the world just how very high
you can fly, you can soar, once you unlock the door,
and Hashem will be there at your side
and Hashem will be there at your side.

VERSE 2:
There are times when I hear music playing
but it’s more a lament than a song,
I’m so used to the pain of its tragic refrain
that whispers “You don’t belong”.

But there is only one you
a Neshoma most precious and sweet.
Our lives are a chorus in praise of Hashem
and when your voice is missing, the song’s incomplete.

CHORUS 2:
It’s time to leave your cocoon, my dear butterfly
show yourself and the world just how very high
you can fly, you can soar, once you unlock the door,
and Hashem will be there at your side
and Hashem will be there at your side.

VERSE 3:
I’ve been told every soul sent from heaven
has its very own mountain to climb;
though some do prevail, many stumble and fail
and I know not which fate will be mine.

But there is only one you
with a calling of your very own;
the road may be long, a test of the heart
but you’ll never, no, never, have to walk it alone.

CHORUS 3:
Time to leave your cocoon, my dear butterfly
show yourself and the world just how very high
you can fly, you can soar, once you unlock the door,
and Hashem will be there at your side
yes, He’ll always be there at our side.
