Farewell
Café Del Mar/Paul Schwartz Lyrics

Constantly creepin' caterpillar
You have been slow and steady all your life, just like the caterpillar who crawls without stopping.

Still a swoon in a cocoon
You are still wrapped up in your cocoon, dreaming of the day when you can fully become who you are meant to be.

Soon you might emerge
The time for you to come out of your cocoon is drawing near, and you are getting excited for what's to come.

And you're made to emerge
You were born to become the butterfly that you are meant to be, and it's time for you to spread your wings and fly.

A little longing to love, lush
You are craving love and affection that has been missing from your life, and you are feeling like you are lost in a sea of your own desires.

Starving for affection
Your hunger for affection is only getting stronger and you are desperate to feel loved and appreciated by someone.

Hidden by the size of my perfection
Despite being perfect in many ways, you are struggling to find someone who can truly see you for who you are and appreciate you fully.

With one exception
There is one person who does see you for who you are but you are still unsure if they are right for you.

If you wanna butterfly
If you want to become something beautiful and free, like a butterfly, you need to put in the hard work and effort to get there.

You gotta be a butterfly
You have to make the conscious choice to transform yourself into the person you want to become, just like a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly.

You know that nothing falls out of the sky
You understand that everything worth having in life requires effort, and that success does not come easily.

How do I hide somebody from the great blue wide?
You are worried about being rejected by the rest of the world and you are uncertain about how to protect yourself from that pain.

I'll come and sweep you up
You have someone in your life who cares about you deeply and is willing to protect and comfort you when you need it.

'Cause your time ain't up, be patient
You have a bright future ahead of you and you are urged to be patient and wait for the right moment for everything to fall into place.

Now you see the sun is rising and you're realizing
You are finally starting to see the good things in your life and you are beginning to have hope for the future.

Wise enough to know
You have become wiser and more mature, and you are starting to understand the complexities of life and love.

That you gotta let yourself grow
In order to become the person you are meant to be, you need to let go of your fears and worries, and allow yourself to grow and develop.

What goes around comes back around
You understand that everything you do in life has consequences, and that your actions will come back to you in some form or another.

This is nature's way
This is the natural order of things, and you cannot escape the consequences of your actions.

Be conscious of what you do
You are urged to be mindful of your actions and to think about how they will affect others and yourself.

Because you will be repaid
You will receive what you give in life, and your actions will determine your destiny.

If you put turnips in the ground
If you sow the wrong seeds in life, you will not reap the rewards you desire.

You will not harvest grapes
You will only receive the fruits of the labor that you put into life, and nothing more.

You are what you attracted
You are the result of the energy you put out into the world and the people you attract into your life.

And this is why I say, uhhh
These truths are important to keep in mind, and you are urged to remember them when making decisions in your life.

Maybe
Despite everything, there is always a chance that things will turn out differently, and you should keep your mind open to the possibilities.
