I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar

Came across a t-shirt that has this slogan " I am woman, hear me roar". I thought this is an interesting slogan coz females having been working hard or maybe double/ triple as hardworking as compared to the male counterparts.

As mentioned in my previous entries, women and girls in certain countries are killed because of their gender or other 'excuses' such as being framed for infidelity, etc.

Hence, I feel that this is a anthem for women to stand up and roar coz we made up of the other half of the human equation.

Here is the lyrics of I am Woman.

I am Woman ~ Helen Reddy

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an’ pretend
‘Cause I’ve heard it all before
And I’ve been down there on the floor
No one’s ever gonna keep me down again

Oh yes, I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

You can bend but never break me
‘Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
‘Cause you’ve deepened the conviction in my soul

Oh, yes, I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin’ arms across the land
But I’m still an embryo
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand

Oh, yes, I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
