I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore,
And I know too much to go back to 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.
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-ro 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 [ can do anything.
I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman.
- Helen Reddy, Ray Burton
