I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath.
Scared to rock the (Bb)boat and make a mess.
So I sat qui et ly, a greed pol ite ly.
I guess that I for got I had a choice.
I let you push me (Bb)past the break ing point.
I stood for noth ing, so I fell for ev ’ry thing.
You (Bb)held me down but I got up, al read y brush ing (Bb)off the dust.
You (Gm7)hear my voice, you hear that sound.
Like thun der, gon na (Eb)shake the ground.
You (Bb)held me down, but I got up.
Get read y ’cause I’ve (Bb)had e nough.
I (Gm7)see it all.
I see it now.
I got the (Eb)eye of the ti ger, a fight er, danc ing through the fire.
’Cause I am a cham pion and you’re gon na hear me roar.
Loud er, loud er than the li on.
’Cause I am a cham pion and you’re gon na hear me roar.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, (Bb)oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
You’re gon na hear me roar.
