Story behind the song
This song was inspired by the children's book, "The Ugly Duckling." It is clear enough to realize that this is not just a child's story, as I realized myself in reading the book again as an adult. I realized that in many ways, that story was my life and that in the journey God was making something beautiful of my life.
Lyrics
THE SWAN Words and Music By Carolyn J. Vargas Copyright © 1997 (ASCAP) Clumsy and awkward Rumpled and thin Waddled the duckling Just trying to fit in It seemed quite confusing When others he'd find They weren't really helpful No, they weren't really kind All he wanted Was to find his place in line But he didn't know That it just wasn't his time The poor little duckling He waddled, he waddled along The harder he tried The worse things became The poor little duckling Was called many names Tired and worn out Not feeling his best He cried for a place Where he might find some rest All he wanted Was to find his place in line But he didn't know That it just wasn't his time The poor little duckling He waddled, he waddled along What could he do Sad and so discouraged Cold and alone Through the terrible winter Oh what a struggle The duckling barely survived Then suddenly everything Started to change The snow melted Spring finally came There was hope in the air When the duckling opened his eyes The sky was alive With the warmth of the sun The beautiful trees Were all starting to bud He looked in the water And could not believe The lovely reflection He was able to see There wasn't a duckling In the pond But to his amazement Was a swan Gliding with ease Moving with such dignity There never would be A question in mind That the poor little duckling Found his place in the line Happy and joyful Swimming with ease Was the great swan For all to see No, there wasn't a duckling In the pond But for all to behold There was a swan Gliding along Moving with such dignity
