Sun Bear Records - A Caterpillar's Lament Lyrics

I've got so little time for love
So little time for living
I'm trying to hold on
I'm not ready to let go

But, this change I feel within me
Day by day it grows stronger
It keeps pulling me back
It's taking its toll on me

That's right I'm getting stronger
And I feel you growing weak
Heed my words. I command you
Now, fill that belly and eat

I'm ready to spread my wings
I'm ready to take flight
Be rid of this molting body
And take off at the break of light

Oh, you wretched beast
Yes?
Leave my body and go
Never!
Tonight, I'm taking a stand
This is my life and I'm taking control

I've got a life worth living
I think I'll live it on my own

I'll climb the highest tree
I'll bask in the summer sun
I'll feed on every leaf
I won't stop until I'm done

I'm starting to take shape
The transformation has begun
All your hopes and dreams
Will soon become undone

I'll spread my wings and fly
It's time for me to die
The change is happening now
Farewell

But, what's this that I see?
Two wings so beautiful
I've been born again
I've changed my look, but not my soul

I'm still here
I haven't left
I'll keep living

I'll feel the wind beneath my wings
It's time for me to fly
Live the life that I've dreamt of
I won't let it pass me by

I've got a life worth living
But, what I see now is that I always have
