Text: Bonnie Raitt. Souls Alike. I Will Not Be Broken.
That was then and this is now
I found my way back and here somehow
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 going
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, maybe I may bend
But I know where I'm not going
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I won't let you near it
I will let my spirit fly
Fly 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 going
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I will not be, no no baby
I found my way back and here somehow
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 going
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, maybe I may bend
But I know where I'm not going
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I won't let you near it

Fly high
Oh, take me down
Take me down
You can hold me but you can't hold what's within

I will not be broken
