Lyrics of
Roar

Roar is an empowerment song about finding ones inner strength and standing up for oneself. It was inspired by Katy Perrys own experiences throughout her career and personal life.

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sit quietly, agree 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

You held me down, but I got up
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
Get ready cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, the 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
Oh oh oh , Oh oh oh , Oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar

Now I'm floatin' like a butterfly
Stingin' like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero

You held me down, but I got up
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
Get ready cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, the 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
Oh oh oh , Oh oh oh , Oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh , (Hey) Oh oh oh , (You'll hear me roar) Oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar

Roar, roar, roar, roar

I got the eye of the tiger, the 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
Oh oh oh , Oh oh oh , (Yeah) Oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh , Oh oh oh , (You'll hear me roar) Oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar
