Artist: Katty Perry
Track: 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 past 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, a 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
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
You're gonna hear me roar

Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee, I earned my 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, a 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
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
You're gonna hear me roar

Oh...
Oh... (And you'll hear me roar)
Oh...
You're gonna hear me roar

Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
And you're gonna hear me roar
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
You're gonna hear me roar

Oh...
Oh... (And you'll hear me roar)
Oh...
You're gonna hear me roar
