Lyrics

[Verse 1] Angry as a lion, gentle as a lamb Do I really know just what I am? [Chorus] For the caterpillar changes into a butterfly What kind of animal am I? [Verse 2] Vicious as a tiger, blind just like a bat Do I really know just where it's at? [Chorus] For the caterpillar changes into a butterfly What kind of animal am I? [Bridge] I'm changing my vibrations To keep my thoughts in line And make a conscious effort To harmonize my mind [Verse 3] Eager as a beaver, busy as a bee Time will not permit hatred in me [Chorus] For the caterpillar changes into a butterfly What kind of animal am I? [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] I am prouder than a peacock, stubborn as a mule Is it not myself I try to fool? [Chorus] For the caterpillar changes into a butterfly What kind of animal am I? [Verse 5] I'm as jealous as a rooster, greedy as a hog Will I evеr lift my mental fog? [Chorus] For the caterpillar changеs into a butterfly What kind of animal am I? [Bridge] I'm changing my vibrations To keep my thoughts in line And make a conscious effort To harmonize my mind [Verse 6] I'm freer than a bluebird, happy as a lark I can lift my mind out of the dark [Chorus] For the caterpillar changes into a butterfly What kind of animal am I?
