Roar Lyrics by Katy Perry

[Verse 1: Katy Perry]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Katy Perry]
You held me down, but I got up (Hey)
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 (Hey)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus: Katy Perry]
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

[Post-Chorus: Katy Perry]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar

[Verse 2: Katy Perry]
Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee, I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero

[Pre-Chorus: Katy Perry]
You held me down, but I got up (Hey)
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 (Got up)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus: Katy Perry]
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

[Post-Chorus: Katy Perry]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(You'll hear me roar)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar

[Bridge: Katy Perry]
Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar

[Chorus: Katy Perry]
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
Oh, louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar

[Post-Chorus: Katy Perry]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Yeah)
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(You'll hear me roar)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You're gonna hear me roar
