Fallen asleep between roses Opened my eyes among thorns I don't recognise, I don't realise I was pushed away where I belong
Here I am just like a little beetle Carried by the storm into a lake Oh dear caterpillar! Or darling Mr. Toad I'm a stranger to you all. Is it my fate?
Have you heard of the storm That uprooted my home? A shower crushed down On my beautiful town
Then the lightning bolt struck Incinerated my shack I barely survived the flame
But wilted like a tree Replanted in debris I turned into nothing I won't be the same
Then the wind lifted my dry bones And carried away, never stopped From shore to shore, from door to door My roots will never touch the ground
Oh dear caterpillar Oh darling Mr. Toad I'm a stranger to you all Is it where I belong?
How I miss my roses And my little shack This tumbling and rolling Will not take me back
