Below, you will find the lyrics for 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 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
Chorus 1
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
Chorus 1
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
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
Chorus 2
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
Chorus 2
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
You're gonna hear me roar
Bridge
You'll hear me roar
Chorus 3
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
You're gonna hear me roar
You'll hear me roar
You're gonna hear me roar
