From the recording Grandmaster
Recognizing that when you are always trying to please others, you can forget about your own needs and dreams.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Striving to please
All deeds
Always, except thee
Taught to be subservient
Lose the disguise and alibis
Prechorus
If you feel and believe
Then you’ll achieve it
Chorus
Float Like a Butterfly
Float Like a Butterfly
Float Like a Butterfly
Rising rising
Verse 2
Faced with prevailing winds
And you bend
It never ends
Driving through
But not you
You feel like a fool
Lose the disguise and alibis
Don’t you compromise this time
Prechorus
If you see and believe
Then you’ll achieve it
Chorus
Float Like a Butterfly
Float Like a Butterfly
Float Like a Butterfly
Rising rising
Solo
Verse 3
Skimming the surface of life
Your inner strife
It eats you inside
Avoiding your greater call
Makes you small
Avoid and stall
Lose the disguise and alibis
Don’t you compromise it’s time
Prechorus
If you feel and believe
Then you’ll achieve it
Chorus
Float Like a Butterfly
Float Like a Butterfly
Float Like a Butterfly
Rising high
Outro
Float Like a Butterfly
Float Like a Butterfly
Float Like a Butterfly
Rising rising
