I Am Woman -- Helen Reddy

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

(**) 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 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
With a long long way to go  Until I make my brother understand

(**)
