Lyrics

[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

[PreChorus]

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 your 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

[Refrain]

Oh, 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

[PreChorus]

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) (Got up)

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

[Refrain]

Oh, 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-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

[Outro]

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh (Yeah)

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-oh

You're gonna hear me roar
