Lyrics
Dad can you see me now
I want you to be proud of me
I feel so lost and yet found
This pain is real so real
I know I made mistakes
Fear and regret that never fades
That’s why I fight why I soar
I must settle the score
When it’s down
I’m gonna rise up
Make you proud
Were gonna get up now
When their down
Were gonna push in real hard
Nothing can stop us now
I’m gonna fly like the wind
And rocket the sun
I’m gonna fly like the wind
Till the damage is done
I’m gonna fly like the wind
You’ll never catch me
I’m gonna fly like the wind
Cause I’m Valkyrie
Everyday is a battle field
Spend my nights in my misery
It’s time to rise
Time to soar
I must settle the score
When it’s down
I’m gonna rise up
Make you proud
Were gonna get up now
When their down
Were gonna push in real hard
Nothing can stop us now
I’m gonna fly like the wind
And rocket the sun
I’m gonna fly like the wind
Till the damage is done
I’m gonna fly like the wind
You’ll never catch me
I’m gonna fly like the wind
Cause I’m Valkyrie
When it’s down
(When it’s down)
I’m gonna rise up
Make you proud
(Make you proud)
Were gonna get up now
When their down
(When their down)
Were gonna push in real hard
Nothing can stop us now
I’m gonna fly like the wind
And rocket the sun
I’m gonna fly like the wind
Till the damage is done
I’m gonna fly like the wind
You’ll never catch me
I’m gonna fly like the wind
Cause I’m Valkyrie
I’m gonna fly
I’m gonna fly
I’m gonna fly
I’m gonna fly
gonna fly gonna fight gonna win
gonna fight till the enemy gives in
gonna fly gonna fight gonna win
gonna fight till the enemy gives in
gonna fly gonna fight gonna win
gonna fight till the enemy gives in
gonna fly gonna fight gonna win
gonna fight till the enemy gives in
