Champion
RuPaul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One Dream, The Will To Fight
And All We Can Do Is Laugh
This Time, You Got It Right
And No One Can Take It Back

They Tried To Keep You Down
But There's No Denying You're A
Champion, Greatest Of Them All
You're A Champion, Never Gonna Fall
You're A Champion, Still Standing Tall
You're A Champion, And You'll Always Be A Hero

Nobody Wins By Playing Small
Remember Who You Really Are
Fearless And Beautiful
A Child Of A Shinin' Star

They Tried To Keep You Down
But There's No Denying You're A

Champion, Greatest Of Them All
You're A Champion, Never Gonna Fall
You're A Champion, Still Standing Tall

You're A Champion, And You'll Always Be A Hero

And When Your Stories Told And The Truth Unfolds
They Will Sing Your Praises Loud
'cause Your Stories Gold, If The Truth Be Told
With All The Children Singing

You're A Champion, Greatest Of Them All
You're A Champion, Never Gonna Fall
You're A Champion, Still Standing Tall
You're A Champion, And You'll Always Be A Hero

You're A Champion, Greatest Of Them All
You're A Champion, Never Gonna Fall
You're A Champion, Still Standing Tall
You're A Champion, And You'll Always Be A Hero

You're A Champion
You're A Champion




You're A Champion
You're A Champion And You'll Always Be A Hero

These 3 slayed this season. They each won 3 challenges apiece, and they are to this day probably the strongest top 3 ever.
