Mariposa

As you let time pass you by
Looking for a reason why
Why did the good things say goodbye
Don't run away, girl, don't you cry
Out the cocoon, spread wings and fly
Caterpillars don't really die

They just evolve into the sky
Don't be afraid until you try
Live for the stars, they'll be your guide
Keep your heart pure and you're mind wise
Don't let them make you pick a side
Just do whatever you feel's right

Mariposa
Mariposa
Mariposa
Mariposa
Mariposa
Mariposa
Mariposa
Mariposa

(Mariposa)

Step by step, breath by breath
Live your life till nothing's left
It's alright, don't you fight
Just stay down till you learn to fly
You ain't defined by your mistakes
Long as your good days, outweighing your bad days

They try to speak down, leave em' with a bad taste
These boys, they straight clowns, see the tears run down they face
Swear you got no time to waste, constantly moving with haste
Life you're controlling the pace, sometimes it's better to wait

Problems they're better to face
You're running, you may not escape
Falling, you're losing your faith
Like how do we get to this place
Fear may run through your veins, see through the trauma and windows of pain
Illusion mess with your brain, I'm able like David, but I got dogs slinging the cane

I swear the lions been tamed
These fibbers, they're shaking
They're holding their faces in shame
I know I done beat the game
I stayed down and focused, and learned
Not to complain, yeah

Mariposa
Mariposa
Mariposa
Mariposa
Mariposa
Mariposa
Mariposa
Mariposa
