Taking our power back Lyrics

You think you won?
No chance
You think you've broken me?
Not a fucking chance

You stole my smile, tried to steal my soul
Made me feel worthless, tried to take control
But there's one little thing you forgot about me
You can break my heart, but you won't break me
Who's still standing? (We are)
Who's still fighting? (We are, we are)

Some wake up smiling, some wake up scared
Fighting their battles like nobody cares
Going to work with a storm in their head
Crying at night and the tears that they shed

Not every wound leaves a mark on your skin
Sometimes the hardest fights happen within
The twisted words, the blame and the shame
The ones who hurt you, then tell you you're to blame

They steal your confidence, silence your voice
Make you believe you have no other choice
But look in the mirror, remember your name
You are not weak just because you feel pain

If you've been knocked down, get up on your feet
If you've been silenced, sing with the beat
If you've been told you'll never be enough
Raise your hands, you're made of stronger stuff

Hey! Hey! We won't back down
We've been through hell, now we're taking our crown
Lies and games, yeah, we've seen it all
We pick each other up, we refuse to fall
You think you won? No chance, no chance
We're taking our power back
Our hearts beat strong, let the whole world see
You don't own my mind, I'm finally free

Hey! Hey! Let the whole world know
You can hurt our hearts, but we still grow
But we still grow

Some fight in silence, some fight to survive
Some wear a smile just to get through the night
Some give their all 'til there's nothing left
Putting everyone first, forgetting themselves

Bills keep coming, life's moving fast
We're chasing the future while escaping the past
We laugh with our mates, say, "Yeah, I'm all right"
Then fight with our thoughts when we're alone at night

But you are not your worst day on Earth
You don't need permission to know your worth
You don't owe the world a smile every day
And you don't have to stay where they hurt you that way

You can set boundaries, you can walk away
You can start again, you can choose a new day
And if all you managed was getting out of bed
That's still a win, get that in your head

Who's still here? We're still here
Who's got hope? We've got hope
Who's got the strength to begin again?
We do, we do, let the healing begin

Hey! Hey! We won't back down
We've been through hell, now we're taking our crown
Lies and games, yeah, we've seen it all
We pick each other up, we refuse to fall
You think you won? No chance, no chance
We're taking our power back
Our hearts beat strong, let the whole world see
You don't own my mind, I'm finally free

Hey! Hey! Let the whole world know
You can hurt our hearts, but we still grow

To the ones who feel invisible (we see you)
To the ones who feel unlovable (we hear you)
To the ones who've been broken down (get up, get up)
You're still here, now make some sound

You don't have to be fearless, you don't have to be strong every day
You just have to believe that your story doesn't have to end this way
One step, one breath, one brand-new start
They may have hurt you, but they don't own your heart
Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! We won't back down
Every lost soul, come and claim your crown
No more shame, no more hiding away
We're choosing ourselves, starting today
You think you won? No chance, no chance
We're taking our power back
Our hearts beat strong, let the whole world see
We own our future, we're finally free

Hey! Let the whole world know
We've been through the fire, now watch us grow
Who's got the power? We've got the power
Who owns our future? We do, we do
Who's still standing? We're still standing
Who's still fighting? We're still fighting
You've been heard, let me hear you say
"I'm still here, I'm still here"
If you found hope, scream it loud today
I'm still here, I'm still here

You think you won? No chance, mate
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today, hey
Not today
Not today, hey
Not today
