Katy Perry – Roar: Lyrics and Music Video

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 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
Get ready ’cause i’ve had enough
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

Louder, louder than a lion
’cause i am a champion
And you’re gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, 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 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
Get ready ’cause i’ve had enough
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

Louder, louder than a lion
’cause i am a champion
And you’re gonna hear me roar
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 (you’ll hear me roar)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, you’re gonna hear me roar

Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar

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
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 (you’ll hear me roar)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, you’re gonna hear me roar
