Hard times/The Egg

I am an egg, that you don't know the insides
A chicken or a crow?A lizard or a dinosaur?
All you see is

I have a hard shell, scratched and banged up.
And all that I see is this shell around me
Yet outside is the world!
And if you wait for me to hatch, you'll see.

It takes hope to care for an egg
But I will follow you where you go
if you help break through these hard times.
