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