I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
You held me down, but I got up
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Ooh, ooh, you're gonna hear me roar
Now I'm floating like a butterfly
You held me down, but I got up again
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter

Roar

by Katy Perry

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

You held me down, but I got up
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

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

Ooh, ooh, you're gonna hear me roar
Ooh, ooh, you're gonna hear me roar
Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar
Ooh you'll hear me roar
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
Get ready cause I've had enough

You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
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
Oh louder, louder than a lion cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
