Lyrics to song Roar by Katy Perry
Verse 1:
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sit quietly
Agree 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
Pre-Chorus:
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
Chorus:
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
Post-Chorus:
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Verse 2:
Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
Pre-Chorus:
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 (Got up)
Get ready 'cause I had enough
I see it all, I see it now
Chorus:
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
Post-Chorus:
Oh, oh, oh, 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
(You'll hear me roar)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Bridge:
Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar
Chorus:
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
Post-Chorus:
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Yeah)
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(You'll hear me roar)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna hear me roar
