(3,767 posts)It is time to bring it back, loud and clear. I think Helen Reddy would agree.
I AM WOMAN. HEAR ME ROAR! IN NUMBERS TO LARGE TO IGNORE!
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
This is what these men don't understand. Every wrong they do to us, only deepens our resolve. Every pain we feel to any ONE of us deepens the resolve of ALL of us to achieve conviction for ALL of us. And, when we do, THEY won't like it.
And we will remember who was on our side, and who wasn't. We will remember who walked by our side... and who screamed to kill us. And Goddess help those who are against us. Because unlike those who walked into the Mother before us rather than give in, we will not go gently into those waters this time. This time we fight with all our might for and with the Goddess. From Diana to Hecate. At least, my personal growth path. I am Woman. Hear me Roar!
I think we need to be requesting that song be played on the radio. The energy is dynamic and catching. We need to be holding rallies with it, like we did before. Build the power, once again. Make them AFRAID!
