AmFighting, living, dying
AmFor what? For freedom
AmThat's what which men have fought since time began
To be free
[Verse 1]
AmThey've been making blanked statements, scaring everyone
AmThey've been making you feel like you never did belong
FYeah, he said, and she said, yeah, they say a lot
FSo many things, they just think you forgot
AmWho you are, and what you do, and where you're coming from
AmI just thought I could remind you with a simple song
FLook at body language, can start to rebuff
FTo where we're using weapons, hatred, not love
GNot you
[Chorus]
F DmYou are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose
AmAnd you became a butterfly, a butterfly
GI knew you always would
FThey were throwing sticks and stones
DmWords can never break your bones
AmYou can spread your wings and fly, wings and fly
GI knew you always would
F DmI knew you always would
F DmI knew there always was nothing wrong with being
AmYou, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
[Verse 2]
AmAll you ever see on CNN are enemies
AmTelling you to lose your individuality
FLook, Do this and Do that, 'till you've lost your way
F'Till you need to fight or a means of escape
AmThey want you to stare into your screen and see yourself
AmBlow smoke into your mirror till you imagine your own world
FSo don't let them catch you with lies and deceit
F GThey can't take your soul or your desire for freedom
[Chorus]
F DmYou are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose
AmAnd you became a butterfly, a butterfly
GI knew you always would
FThey were throwing sticks and stones
DmWords can never break your bones
AmYou can spread your wings and fly, wings and fly
GI knew you always would
F DmI knew you always would
F DmI knew there always was nothing wrong with being (yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
AmYou said I wanna be
FI'm gonna be everything they said I couldn't be
Am AmEverything that I said I would be when I picked up a pen and I started to speak
FI hear the beat
My melody
FI just pour all my heart into these sheets
FI cannot just be a star in the streets
FMan, I knew what was different, I had that belief
FNowhere to live, nothing to eat
FYou were so hungry that you couldn't sleep
DmYou couldn't breathe
I couldn't be
DmAll of this shit was happ'nin' to me
FI would Do drugs, I was a thief
FStill on the run from the karma police
Am AmYou were the mission that was given to me by the powers to be
[Post-Bridge]
F DmYou are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose
AmAnd you became a butterfly, a butterfly
GI knew you always would
[Chorus]
F DmYou are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose
AmAnd you became a butterfly, a butterfly
GI knew you always would
FThey were throwing sticks and stones
DmWords can never break your bones
AmYou can spread your wings and fly, wings and fly
GI knew you always would
F DmI knew you always would
F DmI knew you always would
F DmI knew there always was nothing wrong with being
AmYou, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
