You [Greek translation]

[Intro]

Fighting, living, dying

For what? For freedom?

That for which men have fought since time began, to be free

[Verse 1]

They've been making blanket statements, scaring everyone

They've been making you feel like you never did belong

Yeah, he said, and she said, yeah, they say a lot

So many things, they just think you forgot

Who you are, and what you do, and where you're coming from

I just thought I could remind you with a simple song

No bad body language can start to rub off

Till we're choosing weapons and hatred, not love

Not 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

You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you

[Verse 2]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Post-Bridge]

You were in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose

And you became a butterfly, a butterfly

I knew you always would

[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
