James Arthur - You Lyrics Ft. Travis Barkerms
[00:00.82] Fighting, living, dying
[00:03.82] For what? For freedom?
[00:06.80] That for which men have fought since time began, to be free
[00:11.41] They've been making blanket statements, scaring everyone
[00:14.91] They've been making you feel like you never did belong
[00:18.14] Yeah, he said, and she said, yeah, they say a lot
[00:21.68] So many things, they just think you forgot
[00:24.91] Who you are, and what you do, and where you're coming from
[00:28.16] I just thought I could remind you with a simple song
[00:31.44] No bad body language can start to rub off
[00:34.77] 'Til we're choosing weapons and hatred, not love
[00:37.99] Not you
[00:40.48] You were in the wilderness
[00:44.01] Looking for your own purpose
[00:47.01] Then you became a butterfly, a butterfly
[00:50.99] I knew you always would
[00:54.03] 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones
[00:57.25] But words could never break your bones
[01:00.50] You just spread your wings and fly, your wings and fly
[01:04.23] I knew you always would
[01:07.52] I knew you always were
[01:10.74] I knew there always was nothing wrong with being
[01:14.78] You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
[01:18.00] All you ever see on CNN are enemies
[01:21.25] Telling you to lose your individuality
[01:24.50] Look, do this and do that, 'til you've lost your way
[01:27.78] 'Til you need a vice or a means of escape
[01:31.26] They want you to stare into your screen and see yourself
[01:34.50] Blow smoke into your mirror 'til you're mentally unwell
[01:37.74] So don't let them catch you with lies and deceit
[01:41.00] They can't take your soul or desire for freedom
[01:44.50] You
[01:46.75] You were in the wilderness
[01:50.00] Looking for your own purpose
[01:53.49] And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
[01:57.23] I knew you always would
[02:00.27] 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones
[02:03.25] But words could never break your bones
[02:06.77] You just spread your wings and fly, your wings and fly
[02:10.46] I knew you always would
[02:13.76] I knew you always were
[02:17.25] I knew there always was nothing wrong with being
[02:20.60] Yeah, yeah
[02:20.64] Who said I wanna be, I'm gonna be
[02:22.73] Everything they said that I couldn't be
[02:24.21] Everything that I said I would be, when I picked up a pen and I started to speak
[02:27.45] I hear the beat, my melody
[02:29.24] I just pour all my heart in these sheets
[02:30.72] I could not just be a star in these streets
[02:32.45] Man, I knew I was different, I harbored belief
[02:33.97] Nowhere to live, nothing to eat
[02:35.68] You were so hungry that you couldn't sleep
[02:37.45] You couldn't breathe, I couldn't be
[02:38.94] All of this shit was happening to me
[02:40.44] I would do drugs, I was a thief
[02:42.44] Still on the run from the karma police
[02:43.93] You were the mission that's given to me
[02:45.71] By the powers that be, man, there is a G-O-D?
[02:46.72] You were in the wilderness
[02:49.73] Looking for your own purpose
[02:52.97] And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
[02:56.76] I knew you always would
[02:59.50] You were in the wilderness
[03:02.99] Looking for your own purpose
[03:06.24] And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
[03:09.98] I knew you always were
[03:13.23] 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones (they were throwing sticks and stones)
[03:16.23] But words will never break your bones
[03:19.50] You just spread your wings and fly, your wings and fly
[03:23.24] I knew you always would
[03:26.28] I knew you always were
[03:29.28] Yeah, I knew you always were
[03:33.29] I know there always was nothing wrong with being
[03:37.04] You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
[03:40.33] You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
