Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Nobody ever told her she was beauty
One day, she realised she was already free
The colour in her eyes was fire rising
She found the light inside, a new horizon
[Verse 2]
Oh my my, oh my, she flies
Oh my my, oh my, she flies
Oh my my, oh my, she flies
Oh my my, oh my, she flies
[Verse 3]
She battled through in every kind of tribulation
She revelled in adventure and imagination
She never listened to no hater, liar
Breaking boundaries and chasing fire
[Verse 4]
Oh my my, oh my, she flies
Oh my my, oh my, she flies
Oh my my, oh my, she flies
Oh my my, oh my, she flies
[Verse 5]
It don't matter what people say
'Cause they don't know you
Where you come from or where you're going
It don't matter what people say
'Cause they don't know you
Where you come from or where you're going
[Verse 6]
You are phenomenal woman
You are phenomenal, phenomenal
[Verse 7]
Oh my my (You are), oh my, she flies (Phenomenal woman)
Oh my my, oh my, she flies (She flies, ah-ha)
Oh my my (Oh my my), oh my, she flies (She flies)
Oh my my (Fly), oh my, she flies (She flies)
Phenomenal woman
