Roar
Glee [HD Full Studio] Lyrics

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
I was afraid to speak up and share my thoughts and feelings.

Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
I was afraid of causing conflict or trouble by speaking my mind.

So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I went along with what others said and didn't express my own opinions or ideas.

I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I didn't realize that I had the power to choose how I acted and what I said.

I let you push me past the breaking point
I allowed others to treat me poorly or push me too far.

I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
I didn't have my own beliefs or values, so I was easily influenced by others and made poor choices.

You held me down, but I got up (Hey!)
You tried to keep me down or hold me back, but I am rising above and moving forward.

Already brushing off the dust
I am shaking off the negative experiences or feelings and moving on.

You hear my voice, you hear that sound
You are noticing me and my presence, and my confidence and strength is coming through.

Like thunder, gonna shake your ground
My power and force will affect and challenge you.

Get ready 'cause I've had enough I see it all, I see it now
I have reached a breaking point and realize that I am capable of making changes and taking control of my own life.

I got the eye of the tiger, the fighter
I am fierce and strong, ready to take on any challenge.

Dancing through the fire
I am handling difficult or challenging situations with resilience and grace.

'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!
I am confident in myself and my abilities, and I am ready to make my voice heard and achieve my goals.

Louder, louder than a lion
I am taking up space and making sure that my voice is heard clearly and boldly.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
This is a catchy, upbeat chorus that repeats throughout the song.

You're gonna hear me roar!
I am making my presence known and asserting my power.

Now I'm floating like a butterfly
I am light on my feet, free and graceful.

Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I am powerful and successful, and have worked hard to get where I am.

I went from zero, to my own hero
I am proud of the transformation I have undergone and the strength I have found within myself.

You held me down (Oh), but I got up (Oh)
You tried to keep me down or hold me back, but I am rising above and moving forward.

Already brushing off the dust
I am shaking off the negative experiences or feelings and moving on.

Yeah! Get ready 'cause I've had enough (I've had enough!)
I have reached a breaking point and realize that I am capable of making changes and taking control of my own life.

Ooh!, and you're gonna hear me roar (Roar!)
I am making my presence known and asserting my power.

Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar!
This is a catchy, upbeat chorus that repeats throughout the song.
