Track: Warrior

A song based on a chapter in my teen urban fantasy series.

Warrior

I wrote this song from the perspective of my protagonist to her mother.

Lyrics by Justin Zimmer and music by Suno - Full Playlist

[intro]
Mama, I see you
Breaking day by day
Every worry that you shoulder 
Every tear you won't release
Life hasn't been kind to us
But you keep on fighting 'cause
You are a warrior
And you accept no defeat

[verse]
You barely sleep so I can slumber 
You barely eat so I can feast
You tend to all my troubles 
and work your fingers to the bone 
You are a warrior
In everything you do

[chorus]
You are a warrior
You protect me with all you have 

You are a warrior
You lose each battle, so I can win the war

You give up everything
Just so that I can have enough

You are a warrior
And you accept no defeat

[break]

[bridge]
Life beats you down and you hold me up
I give you grief and you get fed up
I lost my father, you lost your love
I lost my brother, and you lost your son
Now we're stuck here alone together
And you want my life to be so great
But, Mama, I can't flourish this way

[break]

[verse]
You want me to soar
to be everything you can't 
You gave up all your dreams 
Just so that I can have a chance 
You are a warrior 
But I have to find my own way

[chorus]
You are a warrior
You protect me with all you have 

You are a warrior
You lose each battle, so I can win the war

You give up everything
Just so that I can have enough

You are a warrior
And you accept no defeat

[verse]
I can only be your daughter
I can't be your dreams fulfilled
The pain that is your burden 
Is the pain I can't relieve
You are the warrior
Please just let me be what I am 

[chorus]
You are a warrior
You protect me with all you have 

You are a warrior
You lose each battle, so I can win the war

You give up everything
Just so that I can have enough

You are a warrior
And you accept no defeat

[instrumental break]

[outro]
Mama, I love you
You showed me how strong I can be 
Now I'm a warrior
And I'll protect you 
with all I have
[end]
