Song language: English
You |
| Fighting, living, dying |
| For what? |
| For freedom? |
| That's what which men have fought since time began |
| To be free |
| They've been making blanked statements, scaring everyone |
| They've been making you feel like you never did belong |
| Yeah, he said, and she said, yeah, they say a lot |
| So many things, they just think you forgot |
| Who you are, and what you do, and where you're coming from |
| I just thought I could remind you with a simple song |
| Look, that body language can start to rebuff |
| Till we're choosing weapons and hatred, not love |
| Not you |
| You are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose |
| And you became a butterfly, a butterfly |
| I knew you always would |
| 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones |
| Words can never break your bones |
| You can spread your wings and fly, wings and fly |
| I knew you always would |
| I knew you always would |
| I knew there always was nothing wrong with being |
| You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you |
| All you ever see on CNN are enemies |
| Telling you to lose your individuality |
| Look, do this and do that, till you've lost your way |
| Till you need a vice or a means of escape |
| They want you to stare into your screen and see yourself |
| Blow smoke into your mirror till you're mentally unwell |
| So don't let them catch you with lies and deceit |
| They can't take your soul or desire for freedom |
| You are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose |
| And you became a butterfly, a butterfly |
| I knew you always would |
| 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones |
| Words can never break your bones |
| You can spread your wings and fly, wings and fly |
| I knew you always would |
| I knew you always would |
| I knew there always was nothing wrong with being |
| Yeah, yeah |
| Who said I wanna be I'm gonna be |
| Everything they said I couldn't be |
| Everything that I said I would be |
| When I picked up a pen and I started to speak |
| I hear the beat, my melody |
| I just pour all my heart in these sheets |
| I cannot just be a star in the streets |
| Man, I knew what was different, I had that belief |
| Nowhere to live, nothing to eat |
| You were so hungry that you couldn't sleep |
| You couldn't breathe, I couldn't be |
| All of this shit was happening to me |
| I would do drugs, I was a thief |
| Still on the run from the karma police |
| You were the mission that was given to me |
| By the powers that be. |
| Man, there is a God |
| You are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose |
| And you became a butterfly, a butterfly |
| I knew you always would |
| You are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose |
| And you became a butterfly, a butterfly |
| I knew you always would |
| 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones |
| Words can never break your bones |
| You can spread your wings and fly, wings and fly |
| I knew you always would |
| I knew you always would |
| I knew there always was |
| I knew there always was nothing wrong with being |
| You |
| You |
