I AM WOMAN - A blast of true words from the past
I Am Woman
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 on the floor No one’s ever gonna keep me down again Oh yes I am wise But its wisdom born of pain Yes, I’ve paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to, I can do anything I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman You can bend but never 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 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 Will a long long way to go Until I make my brother understand Oh yes I am wise But it’s wisdom born of pain Yes, I’ve paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to I can face anything I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman Oh, I am woman I am invincible I am strong
I am Woman!
