Lyrics: (Fighting, living, dying) (For what?) (For freedom) (That's what which men have fought since time began) (To be free) They be making blanket statements, scaring everyone They be making you feel like you never did belong Yeah he said that 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 coming from I just thought I could remind you with this simple song No bad body language can start to rebuff To we're choosing weapons and hatred, no love Not you You are in the wilderness Looking for your own purpose And you became a butterfly, a butterfly I knew you always would 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones But words can never break your bones You just spread your Wings and fly, wings and fly I knew you always would I knew you always would I knew there always was Nothing wrong with being you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you All you ever see, don't see it in our enemies Telling you to lose your individuality Look, do this and do that 'Til you've lost your way 'Til 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 'til 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 You are in the wilderness Looking for your own purpose And you became a butterfly, a butterfly I knew you always would 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones But words will never break your bones You just spread your Wings and fly, wings and fly I knew you always would I knew you always would I knew there always was nothing wrong with being you Who said I wanna be, I'm gonna be Everything they said 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 pour all my of heart in these sheets I could not just be a star in the street Man, I knew what was different, I had a belief Nowhere to live, nothing to eat You were so hungry that you couldn't sleep You couldn't breathe, I couldn't be All of the 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 to be Man is double G 'n' D You are in the wilderness Looking for your own purpose And you became a butterfly, a butterfly I knew you always was You are in the wilderness Looking for your own purpose And you became a butterfly, a butterfly I knew you always would 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones Words can never break your bones You just spread your wings and fly, wings and fly I knew you always would I knew you always would Yeah, I knew you always would (I knew) I know there always was nothing wrong with being You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you Leave a heart for the lyrics in the top comments 👍🏻❤️
@Salt I've seen him featured in a few songs like this, in this context. Which says something because I've never seen any other songs "featuring" the drummer. Have you? I mean, to be the featured artist and not speak a word, you've got to be damn good at your craft....
A song like "Homicide Love" is not as rough but its true James Arthur too imo. It sounds sooo good. All his diffirent styles of songs.. that's his strength. Its insane how versatile he is as a singer
He has some old songs that include rap. Check out "Flyin'" or (one of my favorites) "Where my angels dare not trade" (All the world's a stage). They are really good. 🌞
Listening on repeat since I discovered it 3 months ago. Amazing song! One of my favorites. Actually, when I think about it, I love all of James's songs. True artist.
Sad how everyone sees James as the "Say you won't let go" guy when he's so much more than that. Those who liked his rap part should check out his album "all the world's a stage", its very underrated but a very good rap album from James
I wasn't expecting this, and it's so good, is really such a important massage, I don't know if it's that I can accept it more cause I've been going through the feeling of finding hard to be understand. But this song changed something even if it's just a little, and it's just a blessing that in this world we can find people that somehow feel the same way and share such a good song with a meaning that hits you right in your insecuryties .Thank you James!
This is. The most powerful lyric and music that James Arthur has released so far. The growth in his writing is beautiful to watch and listen to. I have been a fan since I first saw him on the X factor and his work has never disappointed me. Look forward to to seeing you live in London when you’re next here. Go James 🇬🇧✌🏻💖🇬🇧💕
I am so proud of James, everything that he is achieving every show he gives, every song he sings, I am so happy to have him as an idol, I do not fit in the body all the love I have for him!!!!
Someone pick my jaw up From the floor !!! I feel like I’ve just been knocked out by Raw Talent , James Arthur better than all the rest! Such a powerful message, just be YOU 🖤
YOU... thank you so much James for such a powerful song. I hope you feel the way I feel when you listen to your song. In truth, "there's nothing wrong with being you. " YOU ARE THE BEST!
OMG. THE BEST. I’m 65- loving Jame’s music forever! Not a big fan of rapp - but this is a rapp that I understand and can relate to. Absolutely love it. There is nobody like you- James Arthur❤️
Since X factor i have been a fan. Dude so proud of you man! I remember when i heard your single o the radio for the first time. I freaked out and started shouting " WOOOOOOOO". You're music is amazing and keep climbing Mr. Arthur! You deserve all the success that has come your way.
Thanks for your love and support, it's been a wonderful feeling playing for my fans around the world. Though I rarely comment here, I was attracted by the emotions in your comment. I'll like we get along and stay in touch. Where are you streaming from?
James Arthur is something u cant imagine u needed, every song he has always have a unique meaning and his voice is something u cant find in some artist im really proud i met this person and sing his song!
i was watching his performance on the x factor final back in 2012.. and i said to myself why don't i search his name in yt to see where he has been all this time...i am speechless by this...wow
This actually touches a nerve with me. And I regret it now. When I was younger (I’m talking terms etc). I always wanted to front a hardcore band. There’s a band called Wall of Jericho and their vocalist Candace has been my idol People would tell me ‘you can’t do that you’re a girl’ ‘No clit in the pit’ (LOL yeah I know) People would laugh it off. Even my parents. So nothing came of it. I regret not trying to do something about it. I’d love to tour and share my passion with other people. Luckily enough I’ve still been able to travel a lot in my life so far. So I haven’t missed out on that aspect. I guess message of this is. Follow your dreams no matter how big or small they may be. Don’t live a life full of regrets and ‘what if’s’
Travis Barker has been a beast on the drums for years...he is my all time favorite drummer. He was the drummer in Blink 182. I believe he is listed as one of the top 100 drummers of all time.
Lyrics Fighting, living, dying For what? For freedom? That's what which men have fought since time began To be free They've been making blanked 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 Look, that body language can start to rebuff Till we're choosing weapons and hatred, not love Not you You are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose And you became a butterfly, a butterfly I knew you always would 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones Words can never break your bones You can spread your wings and fly, wings and fly I knew you always would I knew you always would I knew there always was nothing wrong with being 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 are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose And you became a butterfly, a butterfly I knew you always would 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones Words can never break your bones You can spread your wings and fly, wings and fly I knew you always would I knew you always would I knew there always was nothing wrong with being Yeah, yeah Who said I wanna be I'm gonna be Everything they said 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 pour all my heart in these sheets I cannot just be a star in the streets Man, I knew what was different, I had that belief Nowhere to live, nothing to eat You were so hungry that you couldn't sleep You couldn't breathe, I couldn't 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 was given to me By the powers that be. Man, there is a God You are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose And you became a butterfly, a butterfly I knew you always would You are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose And you became a butterfly, a butterfly I knew you always would 'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones Words can never break your bones You can spread your wings and fly, wings and fly I knew you always would I knew you always would I knew there always was I knew there always was nothing wrong with being You You
Getting more difficult to name my favorite James Arthur song. But this one is right up there.James puts a voice to so many emotions and situations. His music is timeless and lyrics are epic.
I just wanna compliment for that old man and young girl for making this short video looks so alive, better than any movie i've been watched lately.. And to the person who direct this mv..you better start being a director.. You're gifted!
When we couldn’t be the best for those who really cared for us 😭😭. Time wasn’t enough to make us pay them back for all the good and love they gave us. That’s enough motivation without them here with us. “There’s nothing wrong being you “ This is epic!
1.This song is the best for growing up the confidenc📈 2. Why this song get only 7.7million it should more than hundred million. 3.james your voice is fantastic
