"I Am Woman"
(H. Reddy, R. Burton)
Performed by: Helen Reddy
I am woman, here me roar
In numbers too big to 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 going to keep me down again
Whoa, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I've gained
If I have to I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achive my final goal
And I'll come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepend the conviction in my soul
Whoa, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I've gained
If I have to I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe-to-toe
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
Whoa, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I've gained
If I have to I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am Woman
I am Invincible
I am Strong
I am Woman
I am Invincible
I am Strong
I Am Woman
