Lyrics by Elizabeth Alexander.

Elizabeth Alexander's thoughtful and humorous look at the difficult and slightly scary process of "going out on a limb," offering clever, down-to-earth lyrics, delightful text painting, and the opportunity to fly! Range: d'-e"

Text: Caterpillars crawl and that's okay for them. It gets them where they need to go and keeps them slim. They inch along and roll around, And pretty much stay on the ground, And from a very early age they learn to blend right in. And like I said, that's okay for them. Caterpillars crawl and that's okay for them. They rarely think beyond their local flower stem. Upon their bellies day and night, They do not often dream of flight. They live their caterpillar lives and munch on blades of grass. And like I said, that's okay for them. Caterpillars crawl and that's okay for them. Except for some who take a lonely interim. To search their caterpillar souls, Embrace a different set of goals, And nurture what they have inside in hopes of finding more. And, so to speak, go out on a limb.
