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 full of many wonders

I look to Heaven for my own

Saw the star that I was under

Lord led me back home, He led 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

Just had to let it show

Had nowhere else to go

I'll be the woman I am

Now I can let it show

There's nowhere else to go

Would you let me sing?

I'll be the woman I am

And 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

Find the healing in me

I'll be the woman I am

Hear me saying, now I don't have to hide

All that I feel inside

I'll be the woman I am

I 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

Hear me saying, there's nowhere else to go

I'll be the woman I am

I just let it go

Nowhere else to go

I'll be the woman I am
