You are like a butterfly,
With open wings on air,
Taking flight despite it all,
Leave behind all that despair,

Bravest maiden in full form,
So high your dreams have grown,
Steady on your feet you go,
To reap what you have sown,

All before you comes so bright,
For the future lies ahead,
A fairies heart you hold inside,
Need nothing more be said.
