Intro 
         Am 
Fighting, living, dying 
              Am 
For what? For freedom 
                                        Am 
That's what which men have fought since time began 
  
To be free 
  
  

[Verso 1]

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 
F 
So many things, they just think you forgot 
Am 
Who you are, and what you do, and where you're coming from 
Am 
I just thought I could remind you with a simple song 
F 
Look at body language, can start to rebuff 
   F 
To where we're using weapons, hatred, not love 
    G 
Not you 
  
 

[Refrão]

               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 
  
  

[Verso 2]

Am 
All you ever see on CNN are enemies 
Am 
Telling you to lose your individuality 
      F 
Look, do this and do that, 'till you've lost your way 
      F 
'Till you need to fight or a means of escape 
Am 
They want you to stare into your screen and see yourself 
     Am 
Blow smoke into your mirror till you imagine your own world 
   F 
So don't let them catch you with lies and deceit 
     F                                             G 
They can't take your soul or your desire for freedom

I knew you always would

[Ponte]

         Am 
You said I wanna be 
             F 
I'm gonna be everything they said I couldn't be 
Am                                       Am 
Everything that I said I would be when I picked up a pen and I started to speak 
F 
I hear the beat 
  
My melody 
F 
I just pour all my heart into these sheets 
F 
I cannot just be a star in the streets 
       F 
Man, I knew what was different, I had that belief 
F 
Nowhere to live, nothing to eat 
F 
You were so hungry that you couldn't sleep 
Dm 
You couldn't breathe 
  
I couldn't be 
Dm 
All of this shit was happ'nin' to me 
F 
I would do drugs, I was a thief 
F 
Still on the run from the karma police 
Am                                               Am 
You were the mission that was given to me by the powers to be 
               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
