The Woman I Am by Chaka Khan

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
