They say you never see [bad word] 
All the tiny little breaks 
But somewhere out beyond all reason 
You keep on giving what it takes 

I never thought [bad word] 
I was busy carrying the load 
Had the strength enough to take it 
But not enough to let it go 
It's a long [bad word] down a broken road 

 [bad word]  
And finally I can feel without fearing 
Cry without the pain 
Stand up and love me 
Without any shame 
It might have been a rough way to learn it 
And a hard place to land 
But the one thing I'm sure of now 
Is I know who I am 

Now if somebody would have told me 
There was a better place to be 
In my quiet desperation 
It was too hard to believe 

I guess you gotta go the distance 
To know just when enough's, enough 
Won't let nobody take it from me 
Cause I know what I'm made of 

And there's nothing I can't rise above 

 [bad word]  
And finally I can feel without fearing 
Cry without the pain 
Stand up and love me 
Without any shame 

It might have been a rough way to learn it 
And a hard place to land 
But the one thing I'm sure of now 
Is I know who I am 

(I am) woman who's worthy 
(I am) woman's deserving 
Whatever it is I can take it 
Whatever it takes I'm gonna make it yeah 

 [bad word]  
And finally I can feel without fearing 
Cry without the pain 
Stand up and love me 
Without any shame 

It might have been a rough way to learn it 
And a hard place to land 
But the one thing I'm sure of now 
Oh, and I absolutely have no doubt 
Yeah, I know who I am 

Yeah, I know who I am 
I Know
