Avril Lavigne releases empowering song for frontliners titled 'We Are Warriors'
Avril Lavigne just released a song with empowering lyrics for frontliners leading humanity's fight against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
Titled "We Are Warriors," the song is a re-recording of her single "Warrior" from the album "Head Above Water." It was released as a music video on YouTube on April 30.
Originally written as Avril battled against Lyme Disease, the lyrics to "Warrior" were adjusted to reflect and empower frontliners from all over the world.
The video showed snippets of frontliners at the hospital and empty streets in different cities from all over the world.
The Avril Lavigne Foundation partnered with Project HOPE for the release of the song and music video.
The proceeds from the sales and streams of the song will help Project HOPE's ongoing COVID-19 relief effort providing personal protective equipment (PPE) for frontliners from all over the world.
Read the lyrics below.
We’ll pick our battles ‘cause we know we’re gonna win the war
We’re not rattled ‘cause we’ve shattered all of this before
Steadier than steal ‘cause we’re ready with our shields and swords
Back on the saddle ‘cause we gathered all our strength for more
And we won’t bow, we won’t break
No we’re not afraid to do whatever it takes
We’ll never bow, we’ll never break
‘Cause we’re warriors, we’ll fight for our lives
Like soldiers, all through the night
And we won’t give up, we will survive
We’re warriors
And we’re stronger, that’s why we’re alive
We will conquer time after time
We’ll never falter, we will survive
We are warriors
We are warriors
Like Vikings we’ll be fighting through the day and night
We’ll be marching through the darkness till the morning light
Even when it’s harder like the armor you will see us shine
No we won’t stop and we won’t drop until the victory’s oursADVERTISEMENT
No we won’t bow, we won’t break
No we’re not afraid to do whatever it takes
We’ll never bow, we’ll never break
‘Cause we’re warriors, we’ll fight for our lives
Like soldiers, all through the night
And we won’t give up, we will survive
We are warriors
And we’re stronger, that’s why we’re alive
We will conquer time after time
We’ll never falter, we will survive
We are warriors
Oh, you can’t shoot us down
You can’t stop us now
We’ve got a whole damn army
Oh, you can’t break us down
You can’t take us out
This will be behind us
‘Cause we’re warriors, we’ll fight for our lives
Like soldiers, all through the night
And we won’t give up, we will survive
We are warriors
And we’re stronger, that’s why we’re alive
We will conquer time after time
We’ll never falter, we will survive
We are warriors
