Tumbleweed

Fallen asleep between roses

Opened my eyes among thorns

I don't recognise, I don't realise

I was pushed away where I belong

Here I am, just like a little beetle

Carried by the storm into a lake

Oh, dear caterpillar, oh, darling Mr. Toad

I'm a stranger to you all, is it my fate?

Have you heard of the storm

That uprooted my home?

A shower crushed down on my beautiful town

Then the lightning bolt struck

Incinerated my shack

I barely survived the flame

But wilted like a tree

Replanted in debris

I turned into nothing

I won't be the same

Then the wind lifted my dry bones

And carried away, never stopped

From shore to shore, from door to door

My roots will never touch the ground

Oh, dear caterpillar

Oh, darling Mr. Toad

I'm a stranger to you all

Is it where I belong?

How I miss my roses

And my little shack

This tumbling and rolling

Will not take me back
