There is a tiny frog inside of me, trying to leap out
So eager to sing
Eager to be heard and eager to be seen
She is held back by something bigger than she
Something she fears
Something in me
It is a snake
He watches her close
If she makes one wrong move, she will be disposed
She lives terrified
Afraid to jump
She has so much to give, so much to say
Will her voice be heard someday?
Will she make herself known and jump out of the fire?
Will she wilt away like a summer flower?
No one will miss her, no one will care.
We are alone in our despair
She is alone in a crowd
How can I save her?
Snake is proud
What can I do?
I am terrified
Snake holds the power
But God is on my side
What do I see?
Hope is what we need
Hope shining on me
With God we will proceed
Hope allowed us to face our fear
We conquered and moved forward
Frog is happy and singing
I am filled with pride
Hope made it possible
Taming snake
Giving frog a ride
Thanks for the lift.
Parting was swift
Don’t hang around
Get out of town
We have been blessed
Dear frog and I
Together we sing
Dance
And catch flies fly
