The Woman I Am

Hey sister

I never knew which way to go

Everybody had an answer

So I said

Go lecture someone, go lecture someone

I could feel it in my heart, babe

I couldn't scream, I couldn't shout

I had to find out in my own way

Ran into someone, ran into someone

I'll be the woman I am

Now I don't have to hide

All that I feel inside

I'll be the woman I am

Just had to let it show

Had nowhere else to go

I had to learn to trust myself

I had to learn just when to say no

Always trying to please someone else

I had to let go, I had to let go

The world is filled of many wonders

I look to heaven for my own

I saw the star that I was under

Lord lead me back home, lead me back home

I'll be the woman I am

Now I don't have to hide

All that I feel inside

I'll be the woman I am

Just had to let it show

Had nowhere else to go

I can look at myself and I'm not afraid

I have finally learned how to love

I can feel everything that I've never felt

And I'm sure now that I've always known

I'll be the woman I am

Now I don't have to hide

I can let it show, had nowhere else to go

I'll be the woman I am

Now I can let it show

Had nowhere else to go

Did you hear me sing it?

I'll be the woman I am

Now I don't have to hide

All that I feel inside

I'll be the woman I am

Just had to let it show

Had nowhere else to go

I'll be the woman I am

Now I don't have to hide

All that I feel inside

I'll be the woman I am

Finally feeling free

Finally the real me

I'll be the woman I am, hear me sing it

Now I don't have to hide

All that I feel inside

I'll be the woman I am

Just had to let it show

Had nowhere else to go

I'll be the woman I am

All that I feel inside

I'll be the woman I am

Had nowhere else to go

I'll be the woman I am

I'll be the woman I am

Just had to let it show
