"Invincible"
By Tinie Tempah

Tinie Tempah, Ishi, Kelly Rowland, let's go
Invincible, Invincible
We're invincible

Yeah, ah, they said we shouldn't
Uh, they said we wouldn't
Ah, look where we are
We've done what they thought we couldn't
As bad as the odds were looking
Push yeah, we kept on pushing
And every time I nearly hit the ground
You were my cushion
There's evidence that proves
That you were heaven sent
'Cause when I needed rescuing
You were there at my defence
Girl, in you I find a friend
You make me feel alive again
And I feel like the brightest star
'Cause you make me shine again

(Chorus)

No matter where we are
No matter just how far our paths may lead
We don't need no shields
'Cause love is the armour that we need
We're invincible, invincible
Invincible loves our protector
Invincible, we're invincible

Yeah, ah from the wildest water
Yeah, to the highest mountains
Ah you and I forever
Even though the driest deserts
You life me higher than ever
I feel as light as a feather
And when we're fighting together
We can take on the weather
I will keep you waterproof
Every single storm you have to walk through
I will go before you
I will be the voice
When you need someone to talk to
Please don't ever doubt me
Let me reassure you

(Chorus)

It's you and I against the world
They can't stop us now
We've come too far
We've worked too hard
We're invincible forever

(Chorus)
