"I Am Woman"

(As recorded by Helen Reddy)
HELEN REDDY
R. BURTON

I am woman hear me roar
In numbers too big too ignore
And I know too much to go back and 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 for the pain
Yes I paid my 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.

Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom for the pain
Yes I paid my price
But look how much 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
Se me standing toe to tow
As I spread my loving 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 for the pain
Yes I paid my price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong, I am invincible
I am woman.

Oh woman
I am woman
I am woman.
