Rebel

I played with knives
I learned to climb
Just for the view
I did not believe the lie
Of needing to be rescued
And I was told that dragons
Are creatures from which to hide
But in my head I knew that all those
Claws and flames were mine
You can beat me down
But I’ll stand back up
You can break my bones
But I won’t give up
When i die
I’ll be rising from the grave
'Cause i would rather be a rebel
Than a slave
I can be a boss
Or serve you anyway I like
I might be a Mrs but I’ll never be just your wife
I was told
To lay down my sword
To run away and hide
But I know I’m a warrior
So watch me as i rise!
You can beat me down
But I’ll stand back up
You can break my bones
But I won’t give up
When i die
I’ll be rising from the grave
'Cause i would rather be a rebel
Than a slave
Than a slave
Oh
We are more
We are one
We can start a fire burning
Oh
We are more
Than they said
That we ever could be
You can beat me down
But I’ll stand back up
You can break my bones
But I won’t give up
When i die
I’ll be rising from the grave
'Cause i would rather be a rebel
You can beat me down
But I’ll stand back up
You can break my bones
But I won’t give up
When I die
I’ll be rising from the grave
'Cause i would rather be a rebel
Than a slave
Than a slave
Than a slave
