[Verse 1] You grew up in a wealthy hood, A little child, never understood Dazzling rules drawn in stone, Siblings beside you yet still felt alone. You carried the weight as oldest to bleed, Expectations too high, impossible to meet. Switched schools twice, tried running away, Tied a rope to your window, but to what way. [Chorus] Oh You were a rebel, wild and brave Oh You were a rebel, refused to cave Oh You were a rebel, A fearless soul An angel now, that died too young [Verse 2] A dark shadow brought danger and pain, You had to run, nothing to gain. A year to the caribbean, working to survive Till you returned, to get on with your life. Nicknames for everyone, stories to tell, Trains to Spain, but fate had other spells. Lost in Paris, no suitcase, no plan, Turned back , stronger than when you began. [Pre-Chorus] Never had children not with your past, You longed for freedom, the wide world so vast. Built your own path, started your name, World full of men, you rose up to stay. [Chorus] Oh You were a rebel, wild and brave Oh You were a rebel, refused to cave Oh You were a rebel , A fearless soul An angel now, that died too young [Bridge]:[spoken] A rebel at heart. Fierce, untamed. Good to her friends. Tough on the rest. Built her empire. Earned our respect. And now a place to rest [Final Chorus] Oh You were a rebel, smart and wise Oh You were a rebel, throwing the dice Oh You were a rebel, A fearless soul An angel now, that died too young [Outro] Oh You were a rebel and rest in peace...... rest in peace.....
