กบในกะลา(gop nai galaa) A frog in a coconutshell

My กบในกะลา(gop nai galaa)
She cannot see far
To the end of her nose
Is as far as it goes

Beyond that it seems
There is nothing but dreams
The world's gone away
It's beyond her today

For now, she believes
That the money she earns
Is all that she needs
Is all that she yearns

But one day, quite soon
The กะลา(galaa) will break
And my favourite กบ(gop)
Will quite suddenly wake

To find that the money
Does not mean a thing
Is not worth the effort
Won't make her heart sing

She'll see there's a world
Outside of her shell
Full of living and loving
Wherein angels dwell

My กบ(gop) sans กะลา(galaa)
Will now see so far
She can stretch out her hands
And reach for a star

She can reach for the stars
With no earthly limit
For living and loving
Stretches to the infinite
