Sparkling in the light Fleeting glimpse of me Dancing in the shadows I promise not to flee I am like a flash of light M.I.A. I'll never be You think you know me But there's more to see Proof of my strength I'm breaking free Every step I take I'm making my move I got somethin' to prove Just because I flash In front of your eyes Doesn't mean I'm MIA You'll see me, don't turn away M.I.A.? More like here-to-stay Whispers and echoes They follow my name I'm breaking free From the rules of this game With every heartbeat I rise from the fall Not lost in the noise; I'm here through it all You think you know me But there's more to see Proof of my strength I'm breaking free Every step I take I'm making my move I got somethin' to prove Just because I flash In front of your eyes Doesn't mean I'm MIA I'm here, I'm alive Lighting up the world in my own way You'll see me, don't turn away M.I.A.? More like here to stay So look a little closer Don't be misled Mia's not missing; I'm paving the way ahead I'll rise from the fall Finding my voice Mia will answer the call Just because I flash In front of your eyes Doesn't mean I'm MIA You'll see me, don't turn away M.I.A.? More like here to stay
