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
Already [bad word] 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
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fire
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
O-o-o-o-oar, O-o-o-o-oar, O-o-o-o-oar
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
Already [bad word] 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
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fire, 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
O-o-o-o-oar, O-o-o-o-oar, O-o-o-o-oar
You're gonna hear me roar
O-o-o-o-oar, O-o-o-o-or, O-o-o-o-oar
You're gonna hear me roar
O-o-o-o-oar, O-o-o-o-oar, O-o-o-o-oar (You hear me roar)
You're gonna hear me roar

Roar oar oar oar Roar

I got the eye of the tiger, a fire, 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
O-o-o-o-oar, O-o-o-o-oar, O-o-o-o-oar
You're gonna hear me roar
O-o-o-o-oar, O-o-o-o-oar, O-o-o-o-oar (You hear me roar)
You're gonna hear me roar
