In the grand gallery
Of my evolution
Some believe I came out of a jar
But I'm a butterfly
Fatal imprudence
A butterfly lost among the lions
Pinned, labeled
I am an enigma for their science

Natural history
My story is beautiful
My story is that
Of a species in the process of appearing

Natural history
My story is beautiful
My story is that
Of a strange and rebellious animal
My story is beautiful

Who could believe that for
The armchair Darwins
I am the prey of choice
They will dissect me
Without any emotion
De-wing me with delight
Store me, forget me
Behind showcases of silence

Natural history
My story is beautiful
My story is that
Of a specimen on the verge of extinction

Natural history
My story is beautiful
My story is that
Of a strange and rebellious animal
Strange and rebellious

My story is beautiful
My story is beautiful

Natural history
My story is beautiful
My story is of wing
I love to fly in all directions

Natural history
My story is beautiful
In all innocence
I love to sing since my birth

Natural history
My story is beautiful
Natural history
