Fighting, living, dyingFor what?For freedom?That's what which men have fought since time begunTo be freeThey've been making blanked statementsScaring everyoneThey've been making you feel like you never did belongYeah, he said, and she said, yeah, they said a lotSo many things, they just think you forgotWho you are and what you doAnd where you're coming fromI just thought I could remind you with a simple songLook at body language, can't start to rebuffTill we're choosing weapons and hatred, not loveNot youYou are in the wildernessLooking for your own purposeAnd you became a butterfly, a butterflyI knew you always would'Cause they were throwing sticks and stonesWords can never break your bonesYou can spread your wings and fly, wings and flyI knew you always wouldI knew you always wouldI knew there always was nothing wrong with beingYou, you, you, you, you, you, you, youAll you ever seen or seeing in our enemiesTelling you to lose your individualityLook, do this and do that, till you've lost your way'Till you need to fight or sort of means of escapeThey want you to stare into your screen and see yourselfBlow smoke into your mirror till you mentally unwellSo don't let them catch you with lies and deceitThey can't take your soul or desire for freedomYou are in the wilderness, looking for your own purposeAnd you became a butterfly, a butterflyI knew you always would'Cause they were throwing sticks and stonesWords can never break your bonesYou can spread your wings and fly, wings and flyI knew you always wouldI knew you always wouldI knew there always was nothing wrong with beingYeah, yeahYou said I wanna be I'm gonna beEverything they said I couldn't beEverything that I said I would beWhen I picked up a pen and I started to speakI hear the beat, my melodyI just pour all my heart into these sheetsI cannot just be a star in the streetsMan, I knew what was different, I had that beliefNowhere to live, nothing to eatYou were so hungry that you couldn't sleepYou couldn't breathe, I couldn't beAll of this shit was happening to meI would do drugs, I was a thiefStill on the run from the karma policeYou were the mission that was given to meBy the powers to be [?]You are in the wildernessLooking for your own purposeAnd you became a butterfly, a butterflyI knew you always wouldYou are in the wildernessLooking for your own purposeAnd you became a butterfly, a butterflyI knew you always would'Cause they were throwing sticks and stonesWords can never break your bonesYou can spread your wings and fly, wings and flyI knew you always wouldI knew you always wouldI knew there always wasI knew there always was nothing wrong with beingYouYou
