The Butterfly Remains

(альбом: Cali Roots Riddim 2023 - 2023)

Will you face it
Your reflection
Even when you're in your darkest hour
Will you greet it
With acceptance
Let your weakness be your superpower
Every aspect, every reflex
Every bruise and every broken bone
All the tragic, all the neglect
Became your walls and then you called it home

Ever since you were
Little child you had a
Dream you held deep down inside your heart
Now you've grown into a
Grown-up and forgot ya
Dreams and piece by piece they picked you apart
But I won't let them
No, I won't let them
Steal our hopes, steal our dreams, steal our youth
No, I won't let them
I could never let them
Twist and toxify the truth

I will go
Where the wind blows
Where I'm needed most
Follow the whispers of the gods and ghosts
Leave this broken world behind me
And I will be
Deeper than the deepest, darkest sea
And I won't need no one to rescue me
Jah Jah love will always find me

When you're young you're always lookin to the future
You get old you tend to dwell upon the past
The only thing that's really real is this here moment
So while you're living better try to make it last

Many will take the easy road
Many more will run and hide
Many will fall victim to ego, arrogance, and pride
Many would rather die than face the darkness deep within
Many are called, but few are chosen

I will go where no roads are paved no walls between
And Witness things no man has ever seen
Leave fear and failure behind me

The chrysalis cracked when the sun turned black
Down came the rain and washed away the blame
Let go of your pain only the butterfly remains
Only the butterfly remains

Oh I'm evolving I'm changing, I'm breaking free
I'm evolving, I'm changing but I'm still me
