Jack Stafford - Most Caterpillars Don't Believe in Butterflies Lyrics

Most caterpillars don't believe in butterflies
You make a chrysalis, then you die
Despite the butterfly sightings

Butterflies in the sky
Tricks of the light or cloud formations
Flocks of birds or you expectations
Who knows? Who can say?
Don't look they'll go away

Caterpillars are apathetic
They're focused on their leaf
"Don't borrow me with spiritual things
I'm living in the hear and now"

Most caterpillars don't believe in butterflies
You make a chrysalis, then you die
Despite the butterfly sightings

The Nine Freedoms explains it all
How Bravery, Love and Service
Lead to enlightenment and cosmic consciousness
Then ascension and interplanetary existence
Before we get to Saturn and then life on the sun
Many more things are mentioned
It's a lot to take in
And when talking to caterpillars
It's hard to know where to begin...

The caterpillar government's not helping things
I guess they have their reasons

But I know one day that everyone will see
Inevitably
That becoming butterflies is our destiny

But until then...

Most caterpillars don't believe in butterflies
You make a chrysalis, then you die
Despite the butterfly sightings
