Lyrics:<br/>(Spoken intro) <br/>Fighting, living, dying <br/>For what? For freedom? <br/>That for which men have fought since <br/>time began, to be free <br/><br/>They’ve been making blanket statements <br/>scaring everyone <br/>They been making you feel like you <br/>never did belong <br/>Yeah he said, and she yeah, yeah <br/>they say a lot <br/>So many things they just <br/>think you forgot <br/><br/>Who you are and what you do and where <br/>you’re coming from <br/>I just thought I could remind you with <br/>a simple song <br/>No bad body language can start <br/>to rub off <br/>Til we’re choosing weapons and hatred <br/>not love, not you <br/><br/>You were in the wilderness <br/>Looking for your own purpose <br/>Then you became a butterfly,a butterfly <br/>I knew you always would <br/>Cause they were throwing stick <br/>and stones <br/>But words could never break your bones <br/>You just spread you wings and fly, your <br/>wings and fly <br/>I knew you always would <br/>I knew you always were <br/>I knew there always was nothing wrong <br/>with being… (you) <br/><br/>All you ever see on CNN are enemies <br/>Telling you to lose your individuality <br/>Look, do this and do that til you’ve <br/>lost your way <br/>Til you need a vice or a means <br/>of escape <br/><br/>They want you to stare into your screen <br/>and see yourself <br/>Blow smoke into your mirror til you’re <br/>mentally unwell <br/>So don’t let them catch you with lies <br/>and deceit <br/>They can’t take your soul or desire for <br/>freedom (you) <br/><br/>You were in the wilderness <br/>Looking for your own purpose <br/>And you became a butterfly, a butterfly <br/>I knew you always would <br/><br/>Cause they were throwing sticks <br/>and stones <br/>But words could never break <br/>your bones <br/>You just spread your wings and fly, <br/>your wings and fly <br/>I knew you always would <br/>I knew you always were <br/>I knew there always was nothing <br/>wrong with being <br/><br/>Who said I wanna be, I’m gonna be <br/>Everything they said that I <br/>couldn’t be <br/>Everything that I said I would be <br/>when I picked up a pen and I started <br/>to speak <br/>I hear the beat, my melody <br/>I just pour all of my heart in <br/>these sheets <br/>I could not just be a star in <br/>the streets <br/>Man, I knew I was different <br/>I harboured belief <br/><br/>Nowhere to live, nothing to eat <br/>You were so hungry that you <br/>couldn’t sleep <br/>You couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t be <br/>All of this shit was happening to me <br/>I would do drugs, I was a thief <br/>Still on the run from the <br/>karma police <br/>You were the mission that’s given to me <br/>by the powers <br/>That be man there is a God <br/><br/>You were in the wilderness, looking for <br/>your own purpose <br/>And you became a butterfly, <br/>a butterfly <br/>I knew you always would <br/><br/>Refrain
