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
No one'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 how much I gained
If I have to I can do anything
I am strong
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
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 do anything
I am strong
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 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 woman
