That was then and this is now
I found my way back here somehow
I knew you'd have to let me go
I told you once, I told you so

Take me down
You can hold me but you
Can't hold what's within
Pull me 'round
Push me to the limit
Maybe I may bend
But I know where I'm not goin'

I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I will not be

Someone other than who I am
I will fight to make my stand
'Cause what is livin' if I can't live free?
What is freedom if I can't be me?

Take me down
You can hold me but you
Can't hold what's within
Pull me 'round
Push me to the limit
Baby, I may bend
But I know where I'm not goin'
I will not be broken
I will not be broken

I won't let you near it
I will let my spirit fly
High, high

Oh, take me down
Take me down
You can hold me but you
Can't hold what's within
Pull me 'round
Push me to the limit
Maybe I may bend
But we both know I'm not goin'

I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I will not be
No, no baby
Woo-ooh-ooh
Yeah
Yeah-eah-eah-eah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oooh-ooh
