Hey now, caterpillar
Why you sittin' there all bitter
Furrowing your body and your brow
You feel like a tiny tether
Locked you down to lower weather
Never know when you'll grow up or how
Wings are pretty cool
But overrated
And though you feel your dreams
Have been deflated
Be okay with hearing me say no
Not now
Because I said so
Hey now, caterpillar
Why you stubborn as a pillar
Thinkin' you already know it all
Sure, yeah, you could show 'em
Sing your perfect tune and poem
Drawing our attention to your crawl
Wings are pretty cool
But overrated
And though you feel your dreams
Have been deflated
Be okay with hearing me say no
Not now
Because I said so
Hey now, caterpillar
Why you sitting there all bitter
Drawing our attention to your crawl
You still wonder what life means
But still you slowly eat your greens
So we'll have all the time to learn it all
