"This song started as an educational tune. I was asked to perform at Environmental Camp for my old elementary school, and I thought I'd try and write some songs from the point of view of bugs, and teach them about insects. Well, the plan didn't work due to writer's block, but I got one good song out of it, about the caterpillar. And it works as a song on its own - it never gets into scientific details about bugs or anything like that - it could just be seen as an uplifting song. I love it; the bridge especially is a nice ride." J.G.H.

Crawlin' around on this earth
Just doin' my best to get by
And nobody here really knows what I'm worth
If only they'd take time to meet me, they'd see what's inside
And they'd see why this life doesn't faze me
I know it sounds crazy, but

Chorus:
One day I'll fly
Flutter on by all my troubles
and leave all my worries behind
I'll show them I'm strong
I'll prove them all wrong and climb higher
One day I'll fly

I go through life slowly, it's true,
But I know what I'm put here to do
I'm here to take in anything that I can
When my time comes to rise up, I'll put all that knowledge to use
And I'll go in a brand new direction
I'll make an impression

(Chorus)

...one day I'll fly,
Oh, yes, I'll fly
All my life will be in place
My mistakes will be erased
There'll be nothing in my way
No walls to climb, nothing but blue skies

(Chorus)
