Out of the night that covers me
As black as the pit from pole to pole
I thank whatever my Gods may be
For my unconquerable soul
You see, I am woman
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
When I've been down there on the floor
And nobody's gonna ever keep me down again
Hey, hey, hey, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom full of pain
Yes, I'll pay the price
But look at what I've gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong, I am invincible
I am woman, oh yeah
Now you can bend, but you can't break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my, my final goal
And I'll come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepened the convictions of my soul
Hey, hey, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom full of pain
Yes, I'll pay the price
But take a look at what I've gained
If I have to, don't you know that I can do anything
I am strong, I am invincible
I am woman
W-O-M-A-N, uh, huh, mmm
I am woman watch me grow
See me stand up toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across this hood ole land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Hey, hey, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I'll pay the price
But take a look at what I've gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong, I am invincible
I am woman, oh yeah
Oh, that's what I am, yeah
Aw baby
Woo, woo, woo, woo, oh sugar
Hey, I'm a woman, yeah, yeah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Now you can't shake me, you can't break me
'Cause I'm a woman, I'm woman
I'm not a beginner I'm a winner
I'm a woman, woah
You can't beat me, baby
'Cause I'm a woman, yeah
