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
