“Caterpillar in the tree, how you wonder who you’ll be

Can’t go far, but you can always dream

Wish you may and wish you might

Don’t you worry, hold on tight

I promise you there will come a day…

Got your wings now you can’t stay

Take those dreams and make them all come true

                                          …Butterfly fly away”

-Glenn Ballard and Alan Silvestri
