LYRICS:
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 ours
 
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

For those who don't know: this song comes from Avril's 2019 album "Head Above Water" except the original version is called "Warrior" and includes different lyrics; instead of "we" she sings "I" since the song was originally written about Avril fighting Lyme Disease. She released this new version of the song because of the covid-19 situation. The net proceeds of this song's sales will be donated to an organization that is on the front lines keeping doctors and medical staff safe all over the world. ⁣

Most of the singers: *singing Imagine*

Avril: recreating one of her greatest song about her struggle into an anthem and launching a music video.

[miriambustamante]

I think she wrote “Warrior” after Lyme disease. Then adapted it to Covid. As the whole Head above water is about her fight for life when sick. This song makes me feel strong and hopeful. Music is magic! Our universal language.

[wilsentwins]

Most of us only sleep, eat, and repeat when covid broke and quarantined. Avril made a song for front line warriors. Respect 🫡

She's now underrated
But still such a legend

[evelyngarcia]

My mom is a doctor, I haven't seen her for 2 weeks, she's working in the hospital with people with the virus 😪 I dedicate this song to her ❤

[iHEARTdisney]

I’d dedicate this song to my dad who survived the wrath of covid19. He was in the ICU for 12 days and he’s the strongest warrior I know. I’m so proud of him and those doctors and nurses who took care of him. ❤

[sharondickson]

We are still warriors in this messed up world we live in

[sacresjustinet.]

She needs a spotlight, Avril Lavigne making videos to motivate millions of people not using drugs, liquor, sexuality on their music video to get fame. She's truly incredible. Her music is powerful, and this making means a lot so much.

[joshnucup]

I hate how Avril Lavigne is so underrated and this masterpiece. We still appreciate you Queen. We understand not everyone has a good taste in music.

[codymariani]

She is ain't just a warrior she is a legend. Avril you keep going strong. My childhood favorite singer.

[dalyaaly]

Avril lavigne is such a vampire
She didn't age at all

[lilbtch]

she deserve more attention in this industry hope she could shine again and inspire a lot of people

[slfarle]

I am battling Leukemia and a bone marrow transplant, this song has been my anthem trying to make it. Trying to survive being EXTREMELY immunocompromised during a pandemic. I cannot thank you enough for this song.

[parksunghoonslover]

Why the hell is this underrated?
All hospitals should play this song.
Let's fight COVID.

[milkshake]

Complicated to We are Warriors. 🇵🇭

"They can't break us down"

[fantasydrew]

Many people didn't understand the meaning of this song and even criticised this song. Well this song will really hit your soul hard when you're in the edge of death and survived from the battle. I did
and I can totally feel this song.

[jimmybutler]

THE CITIZENS ARE THE ONLY WARRIOR WE HAVE FOR WE ARE THE ONES THAT FIGHT THE BATTLES FOR LIFE !...

[robertallen]

This song got us all through the pandemic ❤️ much love to the first responders, nurse's, doctors who were all on the front line for all of us, they never get the recognition they deserve !❤️

[miriamcossio]

I love the fact that she Is so real to herself and to her fans. She always said she wanted to write her music, for everyone could listen what she has to say. I'm glad she is not like some artists from today who just sell drugs, sex, and money in their music.
