Lyrics

I pick my battles 'cause I know I'm gonna win the war
Win the war
I'm not rattled 'cause I shattered all of this before
This before
Steadier than steel 'cause I'm ready with my shield and sword
Shield and sword
Back on the saddle 'cause I got it on my strength for more
Strength for more
And I won't bow, I won't break
No, I'm not afraid to do whatever it takes
I'll never bow, I'll never break
'Cause I'm a warrior, I fight for my life
Like a soldier, all through the night
And I won't give up, I will survive
I'm a warrior
And I'm stronger, that's why I'm alive
I will conquer, time after time
I'll never falter, I'm will survive
I'm a warrior
And whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
I'm a warrior
Like a Viking, I'll be fightin' through the day and night
Day and night
I'll be marchin' through the darkness till the morning light
Morning light
Even when it's harder, like the armor, you will see me shine
See me shine
No, I won't stop and I won't drop until the victory's mine
And I won't bow, I won't break
No, I'm not afraid to do whatever it takes
I'll never bow, I'll never break
'Cause I'm a warrior, I fight for my life
Like a soldier, all through the night
And I won't give up, I will survive
I'm a warrior
And I'm stronger, that's why I'm alive
I will conquer, time after time
I'll never falter, I will survive
I'm a warrior, oh
Oh, you can't shoot me down, you can't stop me now
I got a whole damn army
Oh, they try to break me down, and try to take me out
You can't cut or scar me
Warrior, I'll fight for my life
Like a soldier, all through the night
And I won't give up, I will survive
I'm a warrior
And I'm stronger, that's why I'm alive
I will conquer, time after time
I'll never falter, I will survive
I'm a warrior
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I'm a warrior
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I'm a warrior
