Lyrics

Caterpillar

I spied a caterpillar
Up on my garden wall {Chorus
I asked that little fella
Just why he had to crawl

He said crawlin? lets me see a lot
It makes me who I am
And even if I fell off
I?d crawl right up again

You have to find your niche in life
It serves to make you glad
When times are at their toughest
It helps you through the bad

I spied a caterpillar
Up on my garden wall {Chorus
I asked that little fella
Just why he had to crawl

You?re smiling when you look at me
I?m cute and fuzzy too
But wait until you see me
When changes I go through

I?m climbin? up this big wall
I have a goal in mind
I?m followin? the pattern
Like all folks of my kind

I spied a caterpillar
Up on my garden wall {Chorus
I asked that little fella
Just why he had to crawl

For when I reach the right spot
I?ll build my little case
And firmly I?ll attach it
To hold me in my place

And when I break it open
A new me you will see
I?ll be in brightest colors
And I?ll be flyin? free

I spied a caterpillar
Up on my garden wall {Chorus
I asked that little fella {Instr.Brk
Just why he had to crawl

Right now you see me crawlin?
Life?s lessons I must learn
For flyin? high above the earth
Is something we must earn

Yes flyin? high above this earth
Is somethin? we must earn

I spied a caterpillar
Up on my garden wall {Chorus
I asked that little fella {Pianissimo/fading
Just why he had to crawl
