lyrics

Clare The Dragonfly
once, in a little pond
in the cool water
lived a little water beetle
called ‘Clare’
once in a little while
sadness would overcome her
when her water beetle friends
flew off the lily pad stem

she sang:
what will become of them?
where did you go my friends?
and will I ever see you again?
oh, come back to me
oh, come back to me

many sunsets later
in the cool water
Clare decided she must look for herself
so she climbed to the top of a lily pad stem
and she felt the sun beating down again
so warm, she fell into a slumber

she dreamt:
what will become of me?
where will I go and what will I see?
is this the end, or am I finally free?
oh, I feel release
oh, I feel release
then something magic happened
as the sun shone down from the sky
rebirth a transformation
Clare turned into a dragonfly
her wings began to shimmer
she looked around with brand new eyes
then without hesitation
she took flight
she sang look what became of me
I’m flying high, high above the sea
I promise that I’ll visit you so that you can see
oh, now I’m finally free
oh, now I’m finally free
oh, now I’m finally free

now I’m finally free now I’m finally free…
