14:06Don't you?
14:10Look at me
14:12What's the deal
14:15What's a worm gotta do?
14:19How do I
14:21Stand a chance
14:23When I stand next to you
14:28The more I try
14:30The more it seems
14:32That I just get left behind
14:36If I could find a way
14:39To sprout some wings
14:41There's nothing I
14:43wouldn't try
14:45If I were only bigger a little smaller a little thinner or maybe taller
14:52I could do
14:54How about a little faster a little brighter? I could fly if I were only lighter. I know it's not me
15:01But all I want to be is just like you
15:08So many things in this world, but I would just love to be
15:17And I don't care
15:20What it is?
15:22Just as long as it's not me
15:26If there's a plan
15:28For my life. I wish I knew what it could be
15:35There's gotta be
15:37More to all of this
15:39Than sitting around
15:42Eating leaves
15:43If I were only bigger a little smaller a little thinner or maybe taller
15:49What I could do
15:52How about a little faster a little brighter? I could fly if I were only lighter. I know it's not me
16:00But all I want to be is just a little bigger a little smaller
16:05Much just a little taller
16:08I could do
16:10How about a little faster a little brighter? I could fly if I were only lighter. I know it's not me
16:18But all I want to be is just like you
16:22All I want to be is and maybe fly among the trees and all I want to be
16:29Is just like you
16:34There's gotta be a way something that we can do that'll make us stand out
16:46Wait, look at that
16:52Uh-huh Oh God, it's me Hermie
16:56Tell me your name. He knows my name right? Well, we'll say hi then. Hi God
17:02Hi Hermie, hi wormy. Oh, uh, hi, how you doing?
17:07We wanted to ask you a question
17:09You've made so many special creatures
17:12spiders that spin webs and bees that make honey, you know that and
17:17crickets that make that music
17:21And lightning bugs at light, thank you
17:26You're welcome and we were wondering
17:29What about us
17:32We don't do anything. That's Wow or
17:36Whoopee or even look at that. We're just common everyday caterpillars and oh well
17:45So we want to be different
17:49Hello
17:53Don't worry, I'm not finished with you yet. I'm giving you a heart just like mine
17:59Not finished with us. Well, that's good
18:03So, um, when will you be finished with us exactly not yet
18:14Why do we have to eat leaves lots of things eat leaves
18:20Everyone I know eats leaves
18:23What should we?
18:26Well, hey, how about rocks I don't know anything that eats rocks
18:33Maybe for a good reason now. Here's a tasty little treat, you know, we're gonna be
18:40Hermie and wormy the rock-eating caterpillars
18:56Leaves are good. Yeah
19:07Hi guys
19:22Whoa
19:26I'm on cleanup duty today. My colony is just down the path. A lot of traffic will be going through here soon
19:37Wow
19:39My you're a strong one, thanks I can carry up to 50 times my weight
19:47How do you carry such a big load I
19:50Don't know I guess it's how God made me he made me strong
19:59Yeah, you sure did
20:19Oh
20:21Sorry about that, I
20:24Guess I don't know my own strength. You know what wormy? It'd be great to be strong, wouldn't it?
20:32That would make us different sure but come on I have a plan
20:37Do you think this is such a good idea? Oh, don't worry. Most great ideas seem terrifying at first
20:45All you have to do is jump land on the end of the stick send a pine cone into the air
20:50So it will fall into my arms, then I'll hold the pine cone up and show everybody how strong I am
21:08Okay, go ahead okay here goes
21:14I
21:23Got it
21:39What happened but get us cover
21:45Think there's more coming
21:49I'll be back
22:02God why can't we be strong like the end we want to do what he does and not be weaklings
22:09Don't worry Hermione wormy, I'm not finished with you yet. I'm giving you a heart just like mine
22:29You know, maybe you were too high we should decrease your velocity
22:39What was that whoa, hey, what what what what was that Oh
22:52Incoming
23:10I
23:13Some storm we're having
23:17It's dry over here greetings and salutations
23:23Looks like you need to get out of the rain
23:26Yeah, I'm not kidding
23:28We're getting soaked. I'd invite you in but there's not enough room. You should have a house like I have
23:36That's your house
23:38Sure is watch
23:43Nice and dry
23:47All the comforts of home I take my house with me wherever I go
23:55Umbrella
23:57No, thanks, this is very nice
24:01This is just like having a little trailer
24:04What kind of mileage you get? Oh
24:07I don't get very far or very fast for that matter
24:12But that's okay
24:14Because everywhere I go is home
24:18pretty cool
24:20Yeah, yeah, pretty cool
24:22Oh
24:34Hey guys you want to take a dip in my jacuzzi
24:37Oh
24:47That would be nice to have a house like that everywhere you went, oh, it sure would
24:53Thanks nail for the great idea. Whatever I can do man. I
24:59Know thanks. We have work to do
25:03Come on. Oh boy. Here we go again
25:08You're ready wormy. No, not really. Oh
25:12Don't worry. It'll be fine
25:14Look when I say go you release the vine which will drop that beehive on my back
25:19Then I'll take it with me wherever I go and maybe this isn't such a good idea
25:25Wormy, do you want to be common and every day?
25:29every day
25:31Look, this is our chance to be so non-ordinary like the others
25:36Why would you want to be
25:38Plain because it's safer wormy everything important requires some risk now
25:44Release the vine on my signal
25:49Okay
26:05Oh

26:23Pretty

39:16And he's not gonna give us new wings
39:19But he does give us a new heart
39:21A heart just like his
39:23That's why he's molding us, and he's shaping us, and he's making us
39:26So we can be just like him
