Roar
Kidz Bop Kids (Children's) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 (hey)
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 (hey)
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 oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh 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 (hey)
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 (hey)
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 oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar

Ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar

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 oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh




Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar

Line by Line Meaning

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
I used to keep quiet and not express myself


Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
I was afraid to do anything that might cause a disturbance


So I sat quietly, agreed politely
So I stayed silent and didn't disagree with anyone


I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I didn't realize that I could make my own decisions and stand up for myself


I let you push me past the breaking point
I allowed someone to go too far in mistreating me before reacting


I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
I didn't believe in anything, so I was easily influenced and taken advantage of


You held me down, but I got up (hey)
You tried to keep me down, but I managed to rise up


Already brushing off the dust
I'm already moving past the difficulties I faced


You hear my voice, you hear that sound
You can hear me speaking out and asserting myself


Like thunder gonna shake the ground
My confidence and power are felt and have an impact


Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I'm prepared to take action and make changes because I've reached my limit


I see it all, I see it now
I've gained clarity and understanding about what's happening in my life


I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
I have the bravery, strength, and resilience of a tiger, and I'm able to face challenges with grace


'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
I'm a winner and I'm going to make sure everyone knows it


Louder, louder than a lion
My voice and my actions are more powerful than anything


Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Now I'm moving with ease and confidence


Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I'm showing my strength and skill by defeating obstacles


I went from zero, to my own hero
I started as nothing, but I've become my own source of inspiration and strength


Ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar
I'm making my presence known with a loud and powerful roar
