I Am Woman
Helen Reddy Lyrics

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

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

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

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 ah

I am woman (I am woman)
I am invincible
I am strong

I am woman (I am woman)
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman

@VAEKKRIINHART 4
Thank you for the opportunity. I quite enjoy it when a dreg of society, or, more colloquially, a no-account, challenges core American values in this manner while looking for a response for the world to see. I expect you will delete your comment, so I proactively took the liberty of retaining it for all to see..... forever.
The following is your question/comment along with two of your others replies at an earlier date on this Helen Reddy, I Am Woman, comment thread:

VAEKKRIINHART 4 * 1mo ago

So, what is a woman,. Kip?
I know what one is know is, but I don't think U can answer the question

Replied on Helen Reddy - I Am Woman (1971)

yes! go roar in the kitchen !

u, sir, are what we call betas..Stay in ur office, u could get hurt out here where real men work

CLASS IS NOW IN SESSION

My answer to what is a woman, is, if the question were only asked by you, is "The opposite of what you think one is.".

But most pertinent to this comment thread, is, if a woman were asked "What is a man?" in a conversation in which you were involved in, that woman's answer would be "The antonym of VAEKKRIINHART 4.", metaphorically speaking, as you are not a man, only a male, and an unmarried one.

@MC Chamblin “Liberated from what?” You don’t even know, do you!?
Anyone who has to ask what women needed to be liberated from, is way too young to know or remember, what shackles we needed to be freed of. This is not the place for a History Lesson. This is a place for comments. Go away. Go interview your grandmother, and your grandmother’s mother and then your mother. When you’ve learned, then come back and tell us the answer.

@MC Chamblin
And now we have “The Anthem Police?”
If you are a woman, you’re the weirdest one for a remark like that!
This is definitely an Anthem for women!! We can DANCE to this one!!!
A man’s song doesn’t have groove.

As a lover of music I tend to refer back to great songs over time when they apply our daily narrative/ routines/questions. When I heard the question asked back in March of this year "Can you define what a woman is?", this song immediately popped into my head as my heartfelt answer (on the flip side of the biological answer) , from a man's point of view. Songs like this represent America at its greatest. I don't dance around political correctness; I speak my Truth, and I have learned through time that it takes a great woman to bring out the best in a man. I believe as men, we have some catching up to do, as I also believe the inverse: it takes a good man to bring out the best in a woman.

100% Agree. I was a very young girl when this song was popular. My Dad bought me my first album and this was it! Very fitting since Dad raised my younger sister and I to be strong women and do whatever we wanted. He also respected and loved my mother. All decisions in our household, including parenting were made equally by them both. Dad passed away last year due to cancer. My Mom not only lost her husband , father of her children and grandfather of her grandchildren, she lost her soulmate and best friend. After 50 years of marriage, I'm amazed at my Mom's strength.

I remember meandering through Disneyland with my family in the early 70’s, coming across this circular stage with this woman in go go boots singing at the top of her lungs “I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman”. Loud, invigorating, and powerful (and a bit intimidating for 11, 12 year old boy). How lucky for me to stumble across an early performance of a song that helped launch the women’s movement.

I've just acted in a school play where we were talking about incredible Australian artists. Helen was obviously one of them. I stumbled across this song and it is now my favourite. This song means so much to me, it makes me feel proud to be a woman and I'm so sad that Helen passed away. RIP Helen🕊💔

I had every album! I'm in my 50's now, and these lyrics are perfectly etched in my memory! My singer mother played her albums every weekend while we cleaned house. 💕

I was in third grade when this song came out. I remember shouting this at the top of my lungs because I was so proud I knew the words. What a meaningful song this is! Bless Helen's heart . . .

A timeless and righteous voice.

Linda canção. Nesta altura, em 1971, o Divino Feminino estava a começar a despertar para que o objetivo de um melhor entendimento entre os géneros possa acontecer no nosso mundo....!!!

Helen you are the reason I was strong enough to go back to school at 39 to accomplish my dream of becoming a nurse. I graduated at 41 with your lyrics in the back of my head reminding me I am woman and can do anything I set my mind to. Thanks to this song I found I could do anything I wanted to. RIP Helen Reddy you inspired me throughout my life!

We heard you roar. Thank you for this anthem of my generation. It came out in my first year of high school and helped girls the world over believe in themselves. Goodbye, Helen Reddy - and thanks for the songs.

Yes, all women are strong, stunning and brave. They have never been freer. Women’s happiness is at a record low. 80% of divorces are initiated by women. A woman doesn’t need a man until walking into divorce court.
