Am
Fighting, living, dying
Am
For what? For freedom?
Am
That for which men have fought since time began, to…be free
[Verse 1]
Am
They've been making…blanket statements, scaring everyone
Am Am G*
They've been making…you feel like you never did belong
F
Yeah, he said, and she said, yeah, they say a lot
F F G*
So many things, they just think you forgot
Am
Who you are, and what you do, and where you're coming from
Am Am G*
I just thought I could remind you with a simple song
F
No bad body language can start to rub off
F
Till we're choosing weapons and hatred, not love
G
Not you
[Chorus]
F
You were in the wilderness
Dm
Looking for your own purpose
Am
Then you became a butterfly, a butterfly
G
I knew you always would
F
'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones
Dm
But words could never break your bones
Am
You just spread your wings and fly, your wings and fly
G
I knew you always would
F Dm
I knew you always were
F Dm
I knew there always was nothing wrong with being
Am
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
[Verse 2]
Am
All you ever see on CNN are enemies
Am Am G*
Telling you to lose your individuality
F
Look, do this and do that, till you've lost your way
F F G*
Till you need a vice or a means of escape
Am
They want you to stare into your screen and see yourself
Am Am G*
Blow smoke into your mirror till you're mentally unwell
F
So don't let them catch you with lies and deceit
F G
They can't take your soul or desire for freedom
You
[Chorus]
F
You were in the wilderness
Dm
Looking for your own purpose
Am
Then you became a butterfly, a butterfly
G
I knew you always would
F
'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones
Dm
But words could never break your bones
Am
You just spread your wings and fly, your wings and fly
G
I knew you always would
F Dm
I knew you always were
F Dm
I knew there always was nothing wrong with being
[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah
Am
You said I wanna be, I'm gonna be
Am
Everything they said that I couldn't be
Am
Everything that I said I would be,
when I picked up a pen and I started to speak
Am
I hear the beat, my melody
Am
I just poured all of my heart in these sheets
Am
I could not just be a star in the street
Am
Man, I knew I was different, I had the belief
F
Nowhere to live, nothing to eat
Am
You were so hungry that you couldn't sleep
Dm
You couldn't breathe, how could it be
C
All of this shit was happening to me?
Am
I would do drugs, I was a thief
Am
Still on the run from the karma police
Am
You were the mission that's given to me
Am
By the powers that be minus Devil, G-O-D
[Post-Bridge]
F Dm
You were in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose
Am
And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
G
I knew you always would
[Chorus]
F
You were in the wilderness
Dm
Looking for your own purpose
Am
And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
G
I knew you always were
F
'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones
Dm
But words will never break your bones
Am
You just spread your wings and fly, your wings and fly
G
I knew you always would
F Dm
I knew you always were
F Dm
I knew you always would
F Dm
I know there always was nothing wrong with being
Am
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
