MY
EASTER SONG
Happy Easter!
Asked to speak to a church on the subject of "personal
transformation," I wrote a song to fit the occasion. I think it
fits Easter so I want to share it with you on this special day.
As Mister Caterpillar moseyed down the road
He stopped and had a chat with Mister Toad
By and by a butterfly came flitting overhead
The caterpillar pointed up and said
You'll never get me up in one of those things
They're pretty as can be but check those wings
They're thin as onionskin, oh it just makes me cringe
You'll never get me up in one of those things.
I'm gonna keep my fifty feet here on the ground
They may be slow but they get me around
I've always been afraid of heights and I'll add one more thing
It looks too much like work to flap those wings
If God had meant for us to fly we'd be born with wings
And if that thing should crash your goose is cooked
I'm much too old to learn to fly, no flying's not for me
I'm doing quite well crawling can't you see
You'll never get me up in one of those things
They're pretty as can be but check those wings
They're thin as onionskin, oh it just makes me cringe
You'll never get me up in one of those things.
You are destined to fly. Go ahead. It's Easter!
