Poetry and SongButterflyWeezerYesterday I went outsideWith my momma's mason jarCaught a lovely ButterflyWhen I woke up todayAnd looked in on my fairy petShe had withered all awayNo more sighing in her breastI'm sorry for what I didI did what my body told me toI didn't mean to do you harmBut everytime I pin down what I think I wantIt slips away - the ghost slips awayI smell you on my hand for daysI can't wash away your scentIf I'm a dog then you're a bitchI guess you're as real as meMaybe I can live with thatMaybe I need fantasyA life of chasing ButterflyI told you I would returnWhen the robin makes his nestBut I ain't never comin' backI'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorryRoarKaty Perry I used to bite my tongue and hold my breathScared to rock the boat and make a messSo I sat quietly, agreed politelyI guess that I forgot I had a choiceI let you push me past the breaking pointI stood for nothing, so I fell for everythingYou held me down, but I got up (hey!)Already brushing off the dustYou hear my voice, your hear that soundLike thunder, gonna shake the groundYou held me down, but I got upGet ready 'cause I had enoughI see it all, I see it nowI got the eye of the tiger, the fireDancing through the fire'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roarLouder, louder than a lion'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohOh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohOh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohYou're gonna hear me roar!Now I'm floating like a butterflyStinging like a bee I earned my stripesI went from zero, to my own heroYou held me down, but I got up (hey!)Already brushing off the dustYou hear my voice, your hear that soundLike thunder, gonna shake the groundYou held me down, but I got upGet ready 'cause I've had enoughI see it all, I see it nowI got the eye of the tiger, the fireDancing through the fire'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roarLouder, louder than a lion'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar!I got the eye of the tiger, the fireDancing through the fire'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roarLouder, louder than a lion'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!English 1201/02PART 1: Read the song lyrics independently.Write a personal response to the song.
