[Verso 1]
Am C
There are times when I stand by a mirror
Am F
to take a close look at myself,
G F C F7
and the face that I see, looking right back at me
G F Am
wishes it was someone else.
G C F C
But there is only one you
F C F C
a fragment of light from above,
Am G C F
that would joyfully serve and cling to Hashem
C F G C
if only it knew the depth of His love.
[Refrão]
F C
Time to leave your cocoon, my dear butterfly
G Am
show yourself and the world just how very high
F C G C
you can fly, you can soar, once you unlock the door,
F C G
and Hashem will be there at your side
F G C
and Hashem will be there at your side.
[Verso 2]
Am C
There are times when I hear music playing
Am F
but it’s more a lament than a song,
G F C F7
I’m so used to the pain of its tragic refrain
G Am
that whispers “You don’t belong”.
G C F C
But there is only one you
F C F C
a Neshoma most precious and sweet.
Am G C F
Our lives are a Chorus in praise of Hashem
C F G C
and when your voice is missing, the song’s incomplete.
[Refrão]
F C
It’s time to leave your cocoon, my dear butterfly
G Am
show yourself and the world just how very high
F C G C
you can fly, you can soar, once you unlock the door,
F C G
and Hashem will be there at your side
F G C
and Hashem will be there at your side.
(Up Half Step)
[Verso 3]
Am C
I’ve been told every soul sent from heaven
Am F
has its very own mountain to climb;
G F C F7
though some do prevail, many stumble and fail
G Am
and I know not which fate will be mine.
G C F C
But there is only one you
F C F C
with a calling of your very own;
Am G C F
the road may be long, a test of the heart
C F G
but you’ll never, no, never, have to walk it alone.
[Refrão]
F C
Time to leave your cocoon, my dear butterfly
G Am
show yourself and the world just how very high
F C G Am
you can fly, you can soar, once you unlock the door,
F C G
and Hashem will be there at your side
F G C
yes, He’ll always be there at our side.
