They say you never see it All the tiny little breaks But somewhere out beyond all reason You keep on giving what it takes
I never thought of running I busy carrying the load Had the strength enough to take it But not enough to let it go It's a long time coming down a broken road
And finally I can feel without fearing Cry without the pain Stand up and love me Without shame
It might have been a rough way to learn it And a hard place to land But the one thing I'm sure of now Is I know who I am
Now if somebody would have told me There was a better place to In my quiet desperation It was too to believe
I guess you gotta go the distance To know just when enough's, enough Won't let nobody take it from me Cause I know what I'm made of
And there's nothing I can't rise above
And I can feel without fearing Cry without the pain Stand up and love me Without any shame
It might have been a rough way to learn it And a hard place to land But the one thing I'm sure of now Is know I am
(I am) A woman who's worthy (I am) A woman's deserving Whatever it is I can take it Whatever it takes I'm gonna make it yeah
And finally can feel without fearing Cry without the pain Stand up and love me Without any shame
It might have been a rough way to learn it And a hard place to land But the one thing I'm sure of now Oh, and I absolutely have no doubt Yeah, I who I am
