[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?
