Kj Beach - I am a Woman Lyrics

I am a woman; I'm not going to hide
I'll be me; I won't be tied
I am a woman, woman. woman, woman, woman, woman, woman
We've fought for our rights, still locked in this fight
A world that pretends we're treated the same
But on the fields, in courts, in our very own space
They push us aside, expecting no shame
Biological truth, it can't be erased
Women should stand where only women race
We own our bodies, we'll make the choice
It's time to reclaim our long-silenced voice
I am a woman; I'm not going to hide
I'll be me; I won't be tied
Silent no more, we won't fade away
We're stronger than ever, we'll have our say
You can change the rules, rewrite the score
But we're rising up, silent no more
They legislate laws, but don't know our pain
Telling us what we can't do, how to remain
But we are the ones who carry the cost
Of choices stolen, of freedoms lost
We'll claim our space, our right to compete
For only women's footsteps fill these streets
And those confused can walk their own line
But let us live in truth, our power defined
I am a woman; I'm not going to hide
I'll be me; I won't be tied
Silent no more, we won't fade away
We're stronger than ever, we'll have our say
You can change the rules, rewrite the score
But we're rising up, silent no more
We're not waiting anymore
We are the roar, roar, roar, roar
I am a woman; I'm not going to hide
I'll be me; I won't be tied
I am a woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman
Our bodies are stories, our voices are fire
Centuries of silence, yet still we aspire
We've carried the weight, we've borne the scars
Yet they take our stage, forgetting who we are
But we are the storm they can't hold down
Breaking through the glass ceiling that keeps us bound
No mirrors, no symbols, no words left to twist
We are women, and we will persist
Rising through the storm, fierce and free
A power they'll never truly see
The tide has turned, our voices soar
We're not waiting anymore
We are the roar, roar, roar
You may wear the clothes, but you've never worn the weight
Of centuries of struggle, of doors we had to break
You can take our space, but never our soul
For we've lived in a world that's kept us controlled
Through blood, through fear, through times we've been small
We'll never let this world take it all
I am a woman; I'm not going to hide
I'll be me; I won't be tied
Rising through the storm, fierce and free
A power they'll never truly see
The tide has turned, our voices soar
We're not waiting anymore
We are the roar, roar, we're here to stay
No more silence, no more decay
The world will hear what we've always known
We are the power, we are our own
I am a woman; I'm not going to hide
I'll be me; I won't be tied
I am a woman, woman
I am a woman
I am a woman, woman
