Verse 1: Since birth I've been swimming upstream In a family where nothing's what it seems Their support came with hidden strings While inside them poison slowly stings They're running from inadequacy While I was just trying to be me Chorus: I was the boy swirling buttercups under chins Cartwheeling down roads where childhood begins You tried to break me, tried to make me small But I was born to dance before the fall You can't steal the light that makes me shine Even when you force me back in line Verse 2: I found magic in the garden soil While they chased power, money, toil I was spinning stories in my head Playing with ponies on my bed You saw weakness in my different ways But I was living in authentic days Chorus: You never saw the strength it takes To cry the tears your heart never makes To stand alone and still believe In all the dreams you can't conceive who saw me, saw me true While I was trying to heal both me and you Bridge: I never needed your validation Just space to be my own creation Your words cut deep but couldn't kill The weird wild child that's dancing still Chorus: Now I'm learning how to be That butterfly you couldn't see Still exploring, still unknown Still making this wild world my home And though you never understood I'll keep on dancing like I should
