Verse 1
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Roar-oar, roar-oar, roar.
Chorus
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
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.
