Butterfly

Butterfly

I watched my little caterpillar
As she tried to find her way
But every time that she would fail
It ruined her whole day
It seemed that all her little legs
Were tugging at her brain
But she could not control them
And it brought her so much pain
So hard I tried to help her
But I sounded quite insane
Cause I used to be just like her
But I just could not explain
How all those legs would make it
Hard for her to walk the line
But she was just a caterpillar
And there would come a time
When all those legs would lead her
Far beyond the crimson sky
And she would be so beautiful
Just like the butterfly
