Caterpillar Crossing

[Verse]
A caterpillar on the edge of the stream
Counting ripples
Chasing a dream
A bridge of leaves
Or a swim unseen?

[Prechorus]
But the river spoke
A sly old grin
“You want to cross? Answer within”

[Chorus]
Why did the chicken cross the road
To the other side
The truth is told
Now you tell me
Bug so bold
Why do YOU want to cross my cold?

[Verse 2]
The caterpillar laughed
Its voice so small
“Not for fame
Nor fortune's call
Just to see the other side
That’s all”

[Prechorus]
The river chuckled
Deep and wide
“Honesty wins
Come take the ride”

[Chorus]
Why did the chicken cross the road
To the other side
The truth is told
Now you tell me
Bug so bold
Why do YOU want to cross my cold?
