I am woman, hear me roar In numbers too big to ignore And I know too much to go back an' pretend 'Cause I've heard it all before And I've been down there on the floor Nobody's ever gonna keep me down again Oh yes I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look what I gained If I have to, I can do anything I am strong I am invincible I am woman Now you can bend but you can't break me 'Cause it only serves to make me More determined to achieve my final goal And I come back even stronger Not a novice any longer 'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul Oh yes I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look what I gained If I have to, I can do anything I am strong I am invincible I am woman I am woman, watch me grow See me standing toe to toe As I spread my lovin' arms across the land But I'm still an embryo With a long, long way to go Until I make my brother understand Oh yes I am wise But it's wisdom full of pain Yes, I've paid the price But take a look what I gained If I have to, I can do anything I am strong I am invincible I am woman
