Katy Perry - Roar - Lyrics

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath

scared to rock the boat and make a mess

so I sat quietly, agreed politely

I guess that I forgot I had a choice

I let you push me passed the breaking point

I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down but I got up,

already brushing off the dust

you hear my voice you hear that sound

like thunder gonna shake the ground

you held me down but i got up

get ready 'cause I've had enough

I see it all, i see it now

I got the eye of the tiger the fighter

dancing through the fire, 'cause I am a champion

and you’re gonna hear me roar

louder, louder than a lion

'cause I am a champion

and you’re gonna hear me roar

and you’re gonna hear me roar

Now I’m floating like a butterfly

stinging like a bee i earned the stripes

I went from zero, to my own hero

You held me down but I got up,

already brushing off the dust

you hear my voice you hear that sound

like thunder gonna shake the ground

you held me down but I got up

get ready 'cause i’ve had enough

I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger the fighter

dancing through the fire, ‘cause i am a champion

and you’re gonna hear me roar

louder, louder than a lion

'cause i am a champion

and you’re gonna hear me roar

and you’re gonna hear me roar

and you’re gonna hear me roar

roar roar roar roar roaar

I got the eye of the tiger the fighter

dancing through the fire, ‘cause i am a champion

and you’re gonna hear me roar

louder, louder than a lion

'cause i am a champion

and you’re gonna hear me roar

and you’re gonna hear me roar

and you're gonna hear me roar!
