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 filled of many wonders
I had to look to heaven for my own
I saw the star that I was unter

Lord lead me back home, lead 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
