Am They've been making blanked statements, scaring everyone Am They've been making you feel like you never did belong F Yeah, he said, and she said, yeah, they say a lot So many things, they just think you forgot Am Who you are, and what you do, and where you're coming from I just thought I could remind you with a simple song F Look at body language, can start to rebuff To where we're using weapons, hatred, not love G Not you Chorus: F Dm You are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose Am And you became a butterfly, a butterfly G I knew you always would F They were throwing sticks and stones Dm Words can never break your bones Am You can spread your wings and fly, wings and fly G I knew you always would F Dm I knew you always would F Dm I knew there always was nothing wrong with being Am 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 Chorus: You were in the wilderness Looking for your own purpose Then you became a butterfly, a butterfly I knew you always would 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones But words could never break your bones You just spread your wings and fly, your wings and fly I knew you always would I knew you always were I knew there always was nothing wrong with being Yeah, yeah You said I wanna be, I'm gonna be Everything they said that 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 poured all of my heart in these sheets I could not just be a star in the street Man, I knew I was different, I had the belief Nowhere to live, nothing to eat You were so hungry that you couldn't sleep You couldn't breathe, how could it 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's given to me By the powers that be minus Devil, G-O-D Chorus: You were in the wilderness Looking for your own purpose And you became a butterfly, a butterfly I knew you always were 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones But words will never break your bones You just spread your wings and fly, your wings and fly I knew you always would I knew you always were I knew you always would I know there always was nothing wrong with being You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  D  Dm  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
