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
CHORUS
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 (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 achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
CHORUS
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 (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
FADE
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
We were consumers, Hear us growl
In numbers too big to ignore
And we know too much to go back an’ forget
‘Cos we’ve heard it all before
Now we’re play’n’ games at your door
No-one’s ever gonna keep us down again!
Ooh yes we’re wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes we’ve paid with rice
But look how much we’ve gain
If we have to,
We can do anything
You were wrong
We were con’vin’cible
We were consumeeers
You can manipulate, not create us,
‘Cos it only serves to make us
more determined to reach our des’tin’ation
Our journey born of hunger
Not an outcast any longer
Co’s you deaden the conviction in our souls
Ooh yes we’re wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes we’ve paid with rice
But look how much we’ve gain
If we have to,
We can do anything
You were wrong
We were con’vin’cible
We were consumeeers
We were consumers, watch us grow
See us standing toe to toe
As we broaden our concerns across the na..tion
But we’re still a rud’i’ment
With a long long way to go
Until we make you others un’der’stand
Ooh yes we’re wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes we’ve paid with rice
But look how much we’ve gain
If we have to,
We can erase anything
You were wrong
We were con’vin’cible
We were consumeeers
We were consumeeers
We were con’vin’cible
You were wrong
We were consumeeers
